Why do you write?
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **


So many people seem to blithely exist in a world with only minimal input.
Yet, within my soul burns a desire, a need to express myself.
To reach out and touch my world.To affect change. To be, changed.

That being said, I ask you:

Live to write or write to live?

"Live to write...there's nothing better than catching a creative idea and sailing it through to then end. Oh the ride and excitement!"

"I write because it gets my ideas out there, helps me organize my thoughts and allows me to put all the weird little things going on in my head to good use. It's also good for stress."

"I write because it makes me happy."
-- Ashley

"Actually neither. I only know that writing helps me battle the ennui of a monotonous existence."

"I write to live and live to write. It's a good way to release ones pent up emotions."

"I live to write that's what i love to do i love creating and expressing i love having no limits no boundaries "
-- skillz

"I write because I enjoy it and because of how it makes me feel inside. Words and expression make me happy, but I wouldn't say I live to write or write to live."

"I write to live. Writing seems to give me a chance to simultaneously release and create."
-- Phoenix

"I do both. I had a hard time answering this one until I figured out that I can do both. I write to live as it settles my soul and offers release of tension, worries, and sorrow. I live to write because 'write, I must'."

"I live to write"

"I definitely "write to live," because I like to see others' faces light up from my words, which in turn, adds joy to my life."

"I write because I'm not good at it. It is a challenge to me, like no other challenge I have faced before. "

"I write because it is the only way I have ever been able to truly voice my inner thoughts and feelings. For me, writing is the truest form of expression, and a well written piece is incredibly fulfilling."

"I write in an attempt to organise some of the chaos in my mind!"

"I write to lose myself in time."
-- Pepper

"I write because the divine harmony of the universe is made more perfect by my doing so. Trust me, if I ever stop writing you will feel significant changes in your life, and they won't be good ones. It's not a threat. It's just divine harmony."

"I write because it is a way to feed the creative part of me that doesn't get as much of a work out in my daily life. It opens up thoughts, stories, images inside of me that I don't even realize are there. I write for the sheer pleasure of it."

"I write in order to crystallize the narrative images and personally-vital lyrics in my head. It's too much work to have to hold onto the swirling beauty in one's mind because new things never cease to be generated there."
