We’re all different, and there are as many reasons for writing as there are people. Some of us hope to win awards. Others want to influence people’s thinking. Still others hope to teach, to inspire, to motivate, to criticize, to change, to report, to make money, to tell a story. The list could go on forever, and the individual reasons don’t really matter. The important thing is to discover your own reasons and as I have discovered mine, writing has become more enjoyable to me and it is always more fun to indulge in what one loves.
