I write because I have an awesome imagination. If I don't write my stories, nobody else will. Eventually even I'd forget and then what would be the point of making them in the first place.

Because I want to

Hahah! And that should be enough of a reason!

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.

I agree.You just described me!

I also have an awesome imagination and you're right,no one else will write anything if I won't.Plus I forget things if I don't write them down

I like being the story teller for a change. To create memorable characters and exotic location. To manipulate the character interactions and plot just the way you want. To answer the question "what if" and "what next".

When your writing away with things flowing "in the zone", it feels good and the time just flies by.

You don't get that experience from reading!

To express our story and also make people feel crazy.

I started writing every day in a journal. Sometimes it was just events of the day but sometimes it ended up being a stress reliever. I could write down things in my journal that were bugging me and get them off my chest. Then I went through a lot of very stressful stuff in life and I started writing about how I got through the stressful stuff, and then went on to write in hopes of helping other people be able to get through stressful stuff. I also write about ideas I have for stories for children. I like to write about different things that take my mind to a different calmer place than real life.

What kind of books are you writing

I write because I have to write in essence! I feel like I will choke with the words welling up inside me if I don't get them down on paper or on a computer screen! I am currently working on my second novel. Writing is my passion, my dream, and my highest aspiration in life is to become a published author!

Because I have to. How else is everything going to get out of my head without me ending up in a mental ward?

I started at about three years old and never stopped. I used to come home from kindy with little books I made up with drawings in them and I'd tell my parents/babysitters my stories. Moment I learnt how to write I started scrawling as fast as I could. I destroyed schoolbooks looking for pages to write on.

I thought I was the only one who thought this could happen to me!! I seriously feel like my brain is going tt explode if I don't get the thoughts out, quickly! Nice to know someone else out there is as crazy as I am!

I thought being a bit crazy was a prerequisite to being an author, how else do we keep entire other worlds and lives in our heads?

And I'm not going to follow that line of thought...that be the way to madness

You made me lol. Mostly because you are so right!

I once wrote a story about a bunch of really eccentric people who thought they were super heroes. Then there was this really plain guy who just wanted to be an author, but the others thought he was the crazy one.

That made me LOL as my current work is a hero story that's slowly turning into a statement about political involvement and how it takes a community to make a change etc etc etc.

I must be getting old if I'm moralizing...and I'm only 26!

You're way too young for that kind of nonsensical talk! That's a true sign of early insanity!
