Why I Write

Because, in addition to all those usual, trite reasons people give like "it reduces stress" or "it provides an escape," I can create characters based off of people I hate in real life and then kill them off, or else make them thoroughly unsavory and unlikeable. All while doing no actual damage! It's like voodooism except without the doll or the intent of physical harm.

  1. i write because my brain creates stories when I'm bored, and then they rattle around my brain and drive me nuts (haha) until I put them to paper. Or hard drive. Whatever.
