usually I am compelled to write when something is on my mind or something tragic happens. I write to get my angst out. I try and cope with a hard situation or overcome fears through pen and paper. I didn't really "decide" I liked to write. I think it started in 4th grade when we had to write a book and illustrate it. My teacher told me I was a very good writer and I should continue writing stories. I did. I just never stopped. I am now 24 and still write all the time. It's just something that is part of who I am. I write a lot of morose poetry about passing and my short stories usually lean towards drugs or suicide. I like writing intense poetry that really makes you feel your heart beating out of your chest.
Hm... I'm not sure. I just know that I want, and I do. Because it's fun creating something out of nothing. I'm into philosophy and psychology so I that influences me a lot.

Usually its fantasy, whether in the past, present or future. I can play human, elf, demon, angel. Hero or the villain, over confident jerk, shy girl in the back of the room. I used to play only as males, even though I'm a girl, until I forced myself to write as a female. I mostly write short stories, Role play posts, but I'm getting into poetry.
What compels you to write? Nothing compels me. I just do it. Why do you write? -I enjoy it. What makes you write what you write? -Nothing makes me do it. I choose to do it.

(compels?) I'm compelled to right because it would be awful to leave nothing behind. I like to create exnihlio, right out of nothing. (why?)

I totally agree with you gamecat... when you write what's in your head, it's like you're telling yourself a story.

Money and a feeling of self worth. Why else? I've spent my life in pay nothing factories for God's sake. I haven't gotten any money out of it yet (Not finishing anything sort of gets in the way of getting payed. Bummer.) but the thought of doing that for a living as opposed to the meaningless nonsense that I currently do is what keeps my mind on it.
