Why do I write?

I write because it comes naturally to me, like blinking and breathing.

I write because it expresses what I'm feeling.

I write because I want to be heard.

I write because I find words beautiful.

I write because some stories need to be heard.

I write because I don't want to go insane from not unleashing the words bubbling in my mind.

I write because I love the people that I've invented, like Sam and Juliet, Red, Taker and Donia, Charlotte and Jasper, and Sasha, and they deserve to have their voices heard and stories told.

I write because I want people to hear what I have to say, and to appreciate my words.

I write because I have these amazing places in my head, and I want to share them.

I write because I can relate to my characters.

I write because I can.

I write because I love to.

I write because it's me.
