This is why I write
I feel that we are all born with something we are so passionate about that it directs many of the important decisions we make throughout our lives. Some of us chase that passion with all that we've got in us. Some of us squash it out completely because we are embarrassed to show others what we truly love deep in our souls. And then some of us push it to the side, and keep the pot simmering while we pursue more practical, down to earth things.
Writing has always been this passion for me. Since 1994 I have dreamed of being a published author. I've even completely plotted out, and partially written many different books. I remember sitting with my best friend just writing all the time, and giggling when we caught eachother's mistakes. Soon I hope to make that particular dream a reality. I have officially finished my first full draft of what will be my first book.
But writing is much more than a "someday I will be published" thing to me. It's my therapy. It's my way of dealing with bad people and experiences in my life. I write to get my thoughts and feelings out of my head and sort them out. I write to daydream that my life is something different than it really is once in a while. It brings magic, castles, and dragons into my life. Who doesn't wish they had the ability to shoot fireballs from their hands? Who hasn't dreamed of flying through the air on the back of a dragon?
Writing allows me to do all those things, and I am ready to share it with the world. What does it do for you?

Thank you very much for your comment Moustfa. I really appreciate it. I do believe that if I work hard enough, my dream will come true.
DeleteI know you can do it! You deserve to have your dreams come true. I can't wait to see your book in print! I so miss those days
ReplyDeleteThis all does bring back some crazy good memories.
DeleteWriting to me, is art. For me, I crave to be able to communicate an emotion so clearly that someone else feels what I feel, simply by reading what I wrote. My dream in writing, is to express something that I cannot express any other way, and to have someone else understand it.
