I write because i sometimes just get the urge to put ideas into words. I can't exactly explain it. I can't exactly remember what made me want to write although many film directors have had an effect on me as i started out writing small scripts for my own amusement. I get inspiration from many things, going for a walk, dreams, things i see in the day, things i hear, music, movies, books, games, art. I could go on. I mainly write for my own enjoyment, very few people have actually read my work.
I just couldn't imagine myself not writing. It's not like I do not enjoy it (I do) and it's not like I don't have stories inside me (there are) but i imagine if I didn't have stories I'd be writing non-fiction (I do that too, but that is beside the point), and if I didn't enjoy writing I'd find some other way of creating.
I write because it's the only place where I don't have a boss or subordinates. It's my place where I can let loose. Some women have their bathrooms and a hot tub, I have a blank sheet of paper.
I write because I love doing it. I'm more often than not depressed and writing from the perspective of characters who are apathetic and often like me or even unlikable monsters of people keeps me sane somehow. If I happen to think of a story that makes me feel something extraordinary, I write it with the tone I want to get across. And like others have mentioned here, I have no one dictating what I write. I write what I know and I write what I feel with no one who can say something is too graphic or gritty. It's raw and unadulterated excerpts of my mind I write, nothing more and nothing less.
I write to evoke emotions out of people. It can succeed or fail miserably. But once some of those emotions are pulled out of people, it can change them to be better people. Since I aim to screenplays, I feel cinema is a great way to change a persons look on a matter. Powerful stuff.
I write because every morning when I wake up I get this urge to find the nearest computer and write something down. It doesn't matter what--that interesting person I saw on the train, a beautiful sunset, my emotions, a short story, a fantasy world--something always is making me type. I also write because no one else in the world can write like I can (simply being unique) and I write in so many ways...it's one of the beautiful freedoms in my life.
Why do I write? Totally complex answer coming up. Writing is, in fact, one of my pet hates and sole torments as I feel writing is largely incapable of the same degree of emotion as many other mediums, notably film, and writing can rarely, if ever, reach as wide an audience as less cerebral offerings. Moreover, countless millions are able to write competently, while the number of capable artists, directors, and musicians is much smaller in comparison. However, writing is the form of self-expression that allows one the widest range of powers over presentation - it is capable of a snapshot, conveying great lengths of time, conveying significant instants, talking to the heart, and surviving for centuries after its creation. That doesn't change the fact that the need to write is my bitterest curse. How else am I supposed to stop myself going insane? Ideally I'd broadcast my thoughts directly into the heads of others; images, emotions, and everything else alike. That's not possible, though, so I have to make do with an art form that dilutes and rarely distills my creativity. Irritating as hell? Yes. I write because it's something to do, and it stops me going crazy. A form of work to distract from Despair, in the philosophical sense. If other people like it, so much the better; if I manage to get across the first part of my mental state at the time of writing, so much the better.
