The piece gives me something to fall back on whenever I lose interest in other activities I do. The writing part helps me to build confidence in myself, even though I'm not really a good writer. I like to write because it gives me opportunities to be something that I am good at, though I'm not talented at anything else except trying something I never done. I write to acquire experience. As my writing improves, I can start off with complex writing. Basically writing is fun to me. The content I talk about in my writing is linked partically to my personal experience. Alternatevly, I see movies and find some interesting. The interesting ones I watch gives me an idea to put my own writing into a movie. Some ideas came in my head and I didn't think it would really turn out to be a writing piece. I thought it would just be an illusion. I write drama movies. Some come into series whenever I complete my first piece.
What compels me to write is the accomplishment after writing and the release of emotions that comes from me writing. I personally write because I love it. It makes me happy to think that I can do something when so many teachers and my own parents told me I couldn’t. Emotions or situations that I am facing make me write what I write. I love to read and I also love to tell stories to my family. They all loved my “adventures” so my aunt told me that I should take a creative writing class to give me support. I signed up for the next class and haven’t stopped writing since. I love to write Fiction and Romance!
I am compelled to write when a story, idea, or thought hits me and needs to be put to paper. That is why I have five WIPs in my folder. I write because I simply enjoy it. I fall in love with the characters. My characters. I love them and their lives and their story. Really, what happens is that it becomes a story I want to READ ... but I have to write it first so that I can READ it! Nothing made me decide anything. I just love doing it. I write non-fiction articles about health and community interest. My novels are young adult, fantasy, and romance.
Sometimes I get these thoughts in my head about how I'd like my life to be, or how it has been or how it could be, or how other people's lives could be, and I write stories out of those thoughts, because I don't want to forget them.
I write because I want to. It is relaxing and allows me to escape. I write horror because I enjoy the genre. I have always wanted to write and have decided that it doesn't matter if no body else wants to read it that's their choice. However a few editors have wanted to publish my short stories and it is an amazing feeling. If I have to endure fame and fortune like Stephen king or James Herbert then I will face it with good grace. Lol
I write mostly for self gratification, unmindful of what others find it. The first and foremost thing when it comes to writing is for my personal satisfaction. Everyone wants to see his or her post in print and feels glorified on that but prior to that I must glory in my writing that happens before it materializes into print. I write a poem and I am the first reader of the poem and the rest are derivative. I first enjoy as a writer and reader. I had written tens of thousands of poems and all went unpublished and yet I do not cry over it since I read them and did not want others to read them since they were so elegant and any reproach would be unbearable and that is why I tore them into pieces. Writing is something I feel comfortable and warmth about since it gives me a wonderful company. When I scribe dialogues I feel I am also one of the characters of the story and I feel engaged in that story. Today no company is trustable and friendships, partnerships or relationships can break up but the kind of affiliation I have with my writing, so strong and so intimate our camaraderie goes beyond time. My writing is the only friendship it can transcend any limit and I am thrilled to take to writing for that matter. When I deeply get immersed in my writing I feel really elated and every word I scribble carries a soul and life. It crops up inside me. There are a thousand and one reasons as to why I write. Writing is not just a pastime. I know writing today has been commercialized and there is politics in writing and Medias have big roles in the commercialization of writing. You need to strategize the sale or else you will be rejected and get stressed out. I of course may have to compete with the rest to see my ideas in print. But I am not a dreamer and know the reality behind it. If I succeed in getting myself published it is fine and if not it is not un-fine either. I will be excited if there are readers to read what I write and feel happy if not too. But I never give up writing and giving up writing is like dying. Therefore as long as I live here writing becomes an integral part in my life.
One of the things that compells me to write is my control freak nature! I do like to play God. It's also the desire to make sense of things and to create something of value that will outlast me. I also feel like I have some important things to say and I want to share these things with the world.
1. My life, my thoughts, and my desire to organize the thoughts in my head compel me to write. 2. It's enjoyable to have something tangible to see and know that I have created, even if it is mad gibberish to someone else. 3. I want to express myself, put simply. I like to create vast worlds and societies, each with their own sets of rules - not necessarily utopian, but expressing my ideals - and express my morals in a unique way. 4. I started writing. I enjoyed writing. I never really decided I liked to write, I just do it. 5. For myself, in the future, possibly for minor profits.
When I get ideas in my mind, I get this uncontrollable urge to do something with them, to write them down or do SOMETHING. I can't leave it alone.
I write because it's not a hobby, it's a passion.. I take any thing that flows across my mind and it inspires me to create something new and original.
There are many reasons I write, but I think the most poignant is self-expression. It's one of many creative outlets I have- sometimes I paint, sometimes I build models, sometimes I play music, sometimes I draw... and sometimes I write. I feel that certain ideas or concepts that I want to get across are best expressed through certain particular media. I've found that being able to express myself has come to really help me a few times, during those rough patches in life.
I don't HAVE to write. I don't have some irresistible urge to write. Frankly, I hate the writing process. The flood of ideas in my head don't have to get written or drawn or anything. However, it is something I am very good at. When I am sad, doing it often cheers me up. I daydream a lot, so it's not hard to come up with material. I do it because I can do it, and I live by the mantra that if God gave you power to do something, then it is your prerogative and duty to magnify that something, because no one can or will do it for you.
Writing is a medium. It allows me to manifest the boundless ideas that twirl through my head into the physical world. That, to put it simply, is magical.
1. Anything that inspires me I guess. Sometimes I write just to get out my frustrations. 2. I enjoy it; it's fun. It one of my outlets. 3. It was mostly reading I guess. I think I felt like that I wanted to do that too maybe. 4. Most of my stories mostly revolve around romance, and the other themes depend on the story itself.
Mostly for the fun of it and expressing ideas. I'm inspired with some idea and then start to jot it down and then it grows into something bigger, adding little bits at a time to finally end up with something which is utter rubbish and every now and then not I enjoy the development process of the idea, as it starts to take shape and form from what I imagined in my mind, and a blank page is the infinite canvas.
Nothing really compells me to write, I mean, I hear compel and I imagine the creepy fungus dude from the foot fungus comercial jumping on my hand, forcing the pencil across the paper. It's more like an itch, I need to write or I'll go crazy...crazier. Why do you dream what you dream? I can't explain how I come up with the ideas I do, how did I get time travel from two characters based on friends from drama camp? How did I get curses from a story about a human marrying a werewolf? How did I get angels from a poor abused little boy? I just did, I can't explain it. Natural progression? I've always been a storyteller, when I was little I stapled computer paper together to write picture books, in 3rd grade when we had to write stories based on a cover we were given my hamsters weren't princesses and didn't have disney knock off stories, and they weren't sports heroes, they were astronauts. In 6th grade for a combination art-ILA project we had to create a character outline and draw that character, mine had a two page outline as opposed to everyone elses half page to 3/4 page outline. At the end of the year my teacher suggested I take up writing, I didn't think on it till that summer when I started my first book. Just about anything, sci-fi, fiction, fantasy, murder mystery, thriller, you name it, I prolly want to try it (not chick flick though). ~Phantom
1) everything compells me to write. Music, movies, good books. Heck ideas come to me mostly in the bath! 2) I write because I feel that if I didn't, I would go insane. I have been told by the people who are the most brutally honest to me that I actually have talent at writing. And lastly, I want to become a professional author one of these days. 3) I find it the most interesting genre and I love finding parallels to current events in unlikely places. 4) Ever since I picked up a book and started reading, I knew I wanted to do that. I just haven't ever not liked to write. It really isn't a question of liking to write or not liking to write. I can't stop myself from writing. 5) I write urban fantasy (before it was the cool thing to do, lol) and high fantasy.
I really like writing for other people, little stories for them. Especially my teachers, they seem to like it.
Simply because I'd die if I couldn't write. I have no inner filter, so ideas always come into my head. Ideas are always there, random and always bombarding my brain. My brain never shuts up and it can get quite crowded into here. I need to write these ideas down or else I have no release. Or else I have no way of expressing these things in my head. If asked not to write I'd die. Its as simple as that. I live, breathe, and eat write.
To escape and sometimes because it feels like my characters are the only people I can depend on. I wish so bad they were real sometimes.
