I have been writing stories since I learned my ABC's. I don't have a choice. I have so many ideas in my head, sometimes I think my head is going to explode.
I write because I don't have a choice. I have tried not to write. Once I decided that I will just be a couch potatoe. Who wants to write everyday, in a room alone. I like movies. I like watching movies.. So I quit writing, put up all my notebooks and pens.
It wasn't even a week before I am looking for a pen and paper. I was writing on back of receipts, paper bags.
I dragged out my notebooks and pens. I can not run or ignore the fact that I am a writer, whether I want to be or not.
I know my ideas are good. I know I can write 5,000- 10,000 words a day if I really want to.
When I was still working, I was so tired, I didn't write much on my days off. I had stacks of pages written in longhand that I needed to put into the computer. It was like I was on a treadmill going nowhere.
So I quit my job. I was tired. I was bored at work and I just wanted to write.
Now 24 hours a day I can write. Should be simple enough. I am writing everyday, but there is enough to keep me distracted.
I have written 10,000 words on my fiction Novel and have spent about 2 hours a day on my non-fiction book.
So why do I write? I do not have a choice.
I think of it this way.
Think of Vincent Van Gogh did not sell many paintings until after his death. He kept painting because he was an artist.
I write because I am a writer.
Why do you write?
