Why do you write?

Most readers are closet writers. They journal, dream stories, imagine scenerios, and then disappear into what they are reading. The question to ask before writing is: Who am I writing for?  If you write for money or fame, it is a long narrow road with few recognitions. If you write for family, for fun, or for self-therapy, then you will get rewarded in your life from the effort. If you have a passion for writing; if you pick up a pen in the middle of the night to write down a dream; if your idea of doodling is writing words or poetry; if you are facinated by the challenges of writing…then you know why you write and others may never understand.
