Yeah, I also write because it's fun. It's fun to experiment with characters and different plotlines and structures. I also like it when my English teacher praises me, haha.Tabbycat42 wrote: ↑04 Jan 2015, 10:54 I write because it is fun. I write to escape reality. I write to give voice to the characters screaming in my head. I write because I love it.

Yes! Sometimes, there should not be any deep reasons to justify writing especially that we know writing to be essential.

When I read books, half the time I don't actually know what's going on, I often pretend like I do. I don't know if most people are like that. There are so many books out there. I read basic ones, like Enders game by Orson Scott-Card or Harry Potter, that's the kind of writing that I can get into. Sophisticated writing like Shakespeare, I can read it, I can pretend to understand what's going on, but unless I read a summary, or try really hard to study it. I'm pretty lost. Even when I know what's going on, I forget what was said like right after reading.
The reason I'm writing right now, is I just want to communicate, I'd prefer to have a conversation, that's positive. Something not involving politics or sadness. I'm in a Disney movie right now, this reality is made by Disney. Please don't spoil that. It's precious to me. Few places on the internet are safe from depravities, politics and woe.

I have always had a hard time expressing my emotions. Writing both my thoughts and feelings help me get them out. I can look at them and have a better time finding out what to do.
I have never been one who was allowed to openly express my opinions on any matter. Writing has allowed an avenue in which I can freely express those opinions, even if no one sees them.

I will take your words as mine because they mean everything I would write to justify why I write.JKPoindexter wrote: ↑08 Jun 2014, 20:58 I always found it easier to write my feelings and thoughts down about things instead of actually telling the person how I felt. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes not. But for me it is the best way to get my point across. And it's also easier to describe things by writing them down, it gives me time to think about what I want to say.
