Re: DISCUSSION: Why do you write?
Yes, I wrote in school for class requirements, but I also tried writing creatively. Writing was a major flop when I was attending school. I would start an assignment or creative piece and after the first paragraph it flopped because ... I'm not sure why now. It just bottomed out and went nowhere slowly. I stopped writing unless it was a school-related necessity.

Around the late 19??'s to the early 20??'s somethings I began to write occasionally. It wasn't great as far as I was concerned, but I discovered I was able to create something. Eventually, I had a lightbulb moment and decided to search for writing websites. I found several and decided to join WDC.

After WDC became a part of my life I started writing more. There were times when I didn't write and didn't log in, but I got more writing done after WDC than at any other time in my life. I've learned a lot.

Now I write because the adventure keeps calling me. My imagination regularly wants to take a trip somewhere. The words keep talking to me and wanting to be arranged in a certain manner. Characters insist that I give them life and allow them to tell their story. Places draw me in so that I experience the different terrain and environments. My senses search for details. Word art has wrapped itself around me and now I am cozy with writing.
