Why I write

Well hello!


As promised, I have to answer that same question - why do I write?

I started to write a blog last year to remind myself that I wasn't alone in the world, sitting alone in my basement with no windows.

I continued writing to see if I still had the ability to tell a story.

Now, I write to share myself and because I've become a small part of this large group of amazing people. Like Scarlet said, I want to learn about everyone. My circle of friends has expanded amazingly quickly. And, my long time friends get to hear about things they don't always get to over lunch or 5 minute phone calls.

I write because I'm feeling silly, content, stressed out or confused. I write to purge pain, to share joy and to say hello.

So, HELLO!

  2. You are a writer...plain and simple. You have something to say, it's worth reading and I like the way you put your words together to tell a story.

  4. Hiya. :)

    I find there's always something to share. Often I don't write about my own life, just something I've read, something that touched me and I hope it touches someone else too.

    I've made some wonderful blogging friends over the years, but I've lost some too.:(

  7. Well, HELLO right back! :-)

    Any friend of Scarlet's and Riot Kitty's is a friend of mine. I have only had my Word Garden for a year, and I would be lost without the friends I have made through blogging.
