Need some motivation to get started? Here are five good reasons to write:
Write...
1) to express yourself.
Share the best of yourself. Cut through the small talk and the chatter
to what's important; express the secret feelings and perceptions that
don't fit into polite conversation. Show your personal vision of the
world, which is unique.
2) to entertain yourself.
Writing is a challenge, an adventure. When you're in the thick of it,
you can feel thoroughly absorbed. Write to add color, excitement, and
meaning to your days.
3) to keep yourself company.
You
never have to feel lonely as long as you can write. Writing is a
conversation -- with yourself, with your future reader, with the books
that have inspired you. You can also create characters who come alive in
your imagination.
4) to live other lives.
In real life,
there are limits. In your writing, you can be anyone or anything. You
can try on different lives, become a different person for a while,
transport yourself to another place or time.
5) to touch other people.
Offer your writing as a gift to others. Your writing can move people,
make them feel intense emotions, keep them up all night passionately
turning pages. You can create characters to keep them company. You can
make their lives richer and more beautiful.
