Why Do We Write?: My Reasons

Sarah Weinman posted a follow-up on her blog mentioning my post on writing as vocation. I commented on her entry, going into the reasons writing attracted me to begin with:

I write because it's the most practical way I can think of to express myself. The process gives me time to organize my thinking, find turns of phrase I might not come up with on the spot in public.

I also enjoy connecting with an audience, re-creating experiences, real or imagined, to share with others.
