This brief entry comes from a prompt in a newsletter: "For Authors Newsletter (February 16, 2022)Open in new Window.

So… Why do I write? Why do I spend a large chunk of each day getting words onto paper or into a hard drive?

The answer is simple: because I have to. I need to give the voices that live in my head life. I can't not write. If I don't write, I don't function. To me, it is completely, 100% natural. Writing is a part of me that has been there since before I knew how to put pen to paper – my mother taught me to read and write so I stopped dictating stories to her, before I went to school.

I have had highs and lows in my life. I have had partners come and go. I have had fallings out with family and have lost friends and jobs and opportunities. But, no matter what, in my life, I have had one constant – writing.

Why do I write? Because it is me.
