Time to ponder and listen to myself.

I thought I was writing to make money, but that is not true. I write because I want to express myself.

What does it mean to express myself?

That is something I must ponder until I find the answer. I must listen to my inner self.

Why. Do. I. Write?

I must find out. Without that, there’s no reason to write. No purpose in writing. I don’t want to do it in vain.

I pose this question to myself, then. I pose it to you, the part of me who guides and tells me what to write. Why do we write?

We write because we must.

I write because I have a hunger for it because I want to bless others with what I have.

I write because it is something I can’t not do. My inner/higher self inspires me to write. I write because I love people. I must share and give away that with which I am entrusted.

I want to bless and surprise people with the joy I have received. I write because I trust my inner self to guide me.

I write because it is who I am and what I do.

I write because I am led to write.

I write because there are stories that need telling.

Why do I write?

I write because I am compelled to write. I have no choice.

Just as I am compelled to take pictures and share.

Day four of retroactive SCBWI Writing Prompts response from May. I was inspired by Amy Marley, who finished her 31 days on May 31st. I didn’t start until the 8th of May, so I will cover the first seven days in June.

Here is Amy’s recap from May.
