“Why do I write?” is a deceptively difficult question to answer. While some easy responses such as, “to pass my class,” come to mind, I believe that my own motivation runs deeper than this. While I can never fully capture the workings of my own mind, writing allows me to put my ideas and stories into a tangible form. Writing liberates me from my own emotions when I put on paper my thoughts and worries. Writing allows me a place to express myself in any way I please without enduring the judgment of others.
While I have many reasons for writing, my motivation is derived from a simple desire to put into words what I’m too afraid to say out loud.
