Why I write

I wake suddenly and must flesh out a story idea. Standing in the grocery checkout I note my protagonist's quirks. While reading I find elements that seem like they are stolen from my head.

I write to deepen myself, to view the world with more clarity. Raising myself into other worlds, learning from ours while escaping selfishness.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you – Ray Bradbury 🖤

I read to feel the stories in my heart. On the final page, I find a new part of me, an addition to my character. An extra fork in the road. I read to breathe and write to live. Each paragraph is embedded in my DNA.

The mind can be a scary place. I write as a release, to find another way. I once thought I wasn’t a writer because I didn’t share. A writer needs to write like a human needs air. I write to make life better for others. I write because it is infectious, it clings to my every move. It consumes me with aching towards the page. Stories are as ancient currency, a part of every person. I pull apart the stories I love, or fall into them and recognise myself.

Words sing to me. Sometimes scream, stuck inside this head must feel like hell. Writing uncovers all I don’t know. It defines my place and use in the world. Without words, I couldn’t function.

My writing will evolve as I do. As I grow wiser so will my words.

It’s a delicious thing to write, to no longer be yourself but to move an entire universe of your own creation. – Gustave Flaubert

As a writer we are artists, sculpting beauty in every piece. An artist holds great power and adds it to every structure. Words are tools I cannot live without. Forget money, Stories shape the world. Stories are indispensable in living, writer or reader.

I don’t write only because of the way it feels to shape the words on a page, I write to share untold stories, to expose lies, to taste life in every moment. I write because I breathe. Writing is in me, stories too.

I love words so deeply. I’m so grateful they are by my side. Without them, I surely would fade away. A writer gathers words. With or without it I’m mad. I’m madly in love with the craft.

I am a writer.
