Why do you write?

[Seijiro Mafuné]

Felt like posting.

Everyone has a reason why they write. Some people write for fun, wanting to put down in paper (in this case, the computer screen) the ideas they get, just because it's fun, there's no problem, and they are sure they'll get reviewed. Some people write for others, listening intently to all their reactions, changing things if the public isn't liking it, and overall expecting reviews. And then there's the people who write for themselves, burning in flames if suggestions approach them that are too different from what they want, only writing what they want, and in average doing it because it's what they feel is their life.

Me? I write because that's what I am. A writer. I may not be the best, or even just overly good, but I don't care much. You don't like my style? Big deal. Someone is bound to like it, and at the very least, I like it.

Why do you write?

 

[pisces_beedrill]

well, i write because it is my passion, i have a gigargnormous range of imagination and i like to create stories, some, i just make for fun, others, i am 100% serious about

 

[Iveechan]

I write because I'm an attention w-hore

 

[The Burnt Shadow]

I write because I love to. Sometimes when I watch the shows I feel like there's a character I want to include. I do it because I like creating new images of new people and events...

*It's fun
*It's creative
*It requires concerntration
*Let's me put the ideas in my in a physical form
*I like praise (well who doesn't!)
*I like constructive critisim, it shows that I'm not perfect and keeps the ego in check; inspires improvement
*As long as at least one person likes it, I'm happy

 

[katiekitten]

I write for the love of writing. I read so much, get stories from so many different views, that a combination of ideas rise up in the bubbling volcano of a mind I have and wait patiently for me to write them. I try not to mess up the story, put off reviewers, but I wouldn't like it if someone tried to force ideas on me. Luckily, no one has.

 

[FlamingRuby]

I have two main reasons:

A. It's fun (my fics file here)
B. It's practice for becoming a pro writer or teaching others how to write

 

[Nylf]

It's fun. Pure and simple. My imagination never stops, so the tale always twists and weaves in ways I would've once not thought possible. So I never know everything. It's like journeying along a path where you only have a torch, and a map saying where it begins, and where it ends. You don't know what's along the way, and you can only see a little bit at a time. Thus making an adventure where you never leave your own seat. What's more fun than that?

 

[Jetx]

It's fun, and I like to see that i have fans. Why i write fics is to raise my practise level. The more i practise the more likely I am to get a job as an author, that's why I get desperate for reviews...

 

[Guitar dude bill]

I write for three reasons
The fun
Help for improvement
Encouragemant.

 

[lilbluecorsola]

I write in order to release my thoughts and emotions.

 

[Bu†cH]

I want to make a purpose of my life and give people what they want.

 

[Elemental Charizam]

Good question, Video.

I suppose I write not only because I enjoy the process of writing (which can be frustrating and stressful at times) but because I enjoy having something that I've created and that I and other people can enjoy (or flame ). For me, writing is one of the most rewarding experiences, even if it isn't received well, though that does help.

If I don't write in ages now, I start feeling uncomfortable, so I'll write now and again even if I don't post it. It does make writers block even more frustrating though D: Apart from this, I also get the strong and irresistable urge to write every so often, usually when the sheer volume of ideas I have forces me to weite a few down in some form.

 

[Negrek]

I write because I enjoy it, and also because I do hope to become a professional writer someday and could use the practice. I'm not going to lie and say that I don't like ego-boosting reviews, though!

 

[Dilasc]

I write because I want to be respected and read. I write because I want to have something in my seemingly dull life somewhat important! I write so people can say 'Dilasc... I would be sad if he disappeared, because he is a great writers.' I have yet to make myself important to many people, or be a great writer. So, I am still writing and still seeking to improve my work, and myself.

 

[xXSaberXx]

D: I write cause I have many voices in my head that scream to be pleased and made into characters.

I think I started to write because I wanted to see if what I did would be accepted, and if people had any comments for change. Orginally, I think, I wanted to improve, above all, so I gave the forums a whirl and posted a thing or two. In all actuality, I still have a long way s to go, and thus, I still keep writing. Though there will always be someone better than I, it's still a great thing to improve over time. ^.^

 

[Hyper Chibi Absol]

I write because I can think of really dramatic things and I have a vivid imagination.

 

[Zodiac]

I write peotry to express and release my emotions, ideas and sorrow. I rarely write when I'm happy. Writing makes me feel more creative.

I write fan-fics or short stories to improve my imagination and develop ideas about different issues.

 

[Flaming Lip]

I write because I want to. I would like reviews if I posted it, but really, I just write because I think its fun.

Of course, I would take someone's suggestions and try to improve, but is more for the sake of my own writing than the person who sugested something.

 

[Xiang]

Let's see...

*The fun....you get to be creative and it's not forced...
*You can improve by posting it up and waiting for crit
*Sometime there's that brilliant idea nagging at you...so I type it up before I forget it and lose it forever. Sometimes they turn into whole fics, like You're Not Alone. It started out small, then branched out into bigger and more ideas, and I just didn't want to leave them untouched.
