Why do we go into writing in the first place?What makes us think we have what it takes (and at times, it takes a bit of effort) to sit and write what is in our minds and hearts.
For me, it's the thought that just maybe something I end up putting down on paper or on a given computer screen which someone magically comes across while searching the web, will truly be read, be useful in someone's life.
As for what keeps us writing, it's the thought that another day is more than just another day. It brings new opportunities, new options, new stories and new adventures to write about. Writing is not only what we do, it is part of who we are.
I know I've mentioned it before here, and someday it will happen, but eventually there will be mini conversations with writers on here. To mention their thoughts about writing, their motivations and what keeps them going when the words may or may not be there at a given moment.
What are your motivations? What keeps you writing? What got you to writing in the first place?
P.S. The hat above can be found here.
