Why I Write


I write to channel emotion, to praise everything good, to mourn the sorrowful, to look into the heart and see what we all desire. I write to find meaning in my words, to find a moral, a theme, a story to tell. I write to share my vision, to show the marvels of the creative mind, to demonstrate the understanding of the natural world. I write to share myself with the reader, to share my strengths and flaws, to show my innermost feelings, to tell my story, and what I can do to make an impact. When I write I show my colors, to stand up for everything and anything to end what is wrong, and to show what is right. I write because there is power in words, because words have meanings, because without meanings, the word is useless, because anything can start with just one word.
