Rockin’! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Nice to see you here. Actually this is one of my favorite posts so I’m glad it struck a chord with you.

Hope to see you around.

Hello – I followed a link from somewhere and ended up reading for the last 30 minutes or so – love what I have read and so will continue to check in regularly.

Why do I write? – because I have all these thoughts in my head that if I don’t write them down they would drive me quietly insane (which explains a lot!) – it doesn’t matter that no one read them, it just helped clarify my thinking.

And I know this is an old post but I decided to comment anyway – just because it struck a chord

Carrie,

I love those reasons and I completely relate. I spent three hours writing this morning and when I was finished, I didn’t feel drained – I felt energized!

There is a lot of reasons why I write. Mostly it’s because I must, or else I feel that I would go mad. When I go even a day without writing I would feel pent up and frustrated; then when I able to get even a few words down on paper (or on the computer) I feel this sense of calm and relief. Writing is the essence of who I am. I must write.

Hi Brad,

It is a weird combination of a lot of the things listed. Mostly though, I get a thrill out of hitting the publish or print button. I feel so good when I’ve completed a writing project, be it a post or something larger.

Like you, I can be a silver tongued devil in my written prose, and somewhat inarticulate with my verbals.

Cheers!

George
