I write because I am, I write because I have stories in my head and they keep me awake and out of bed, I write because it keeps me alive and not dead. I write so people learn or are entertained, I write so the thoughts stuck in my brain can be released to paper and the internet and read by people and to give them my emotions, my hates, my loves, my pains, my joy and so people can understand who I am inside, for as a person I have nothing to hide! Does that make sense folks, I hope so!
Writing for me is not whether the punctuation is correct or the spelling or grammar, it is whether I can convey the thought, the idea, the story that drifts in my mind as I walk around in life daily. I stop sometimes and go wait I should tell this to somebody and see what they think, so I stop and memorize it, or jot it down, and it becomes a story that I expand on. In life we all have interests, and we like to follow them of course, but how many of us stop and write them down, whether it is a thing we lived through, or saw and experienced ourselves? You tell me folks!
Writing is also a way for me to deal with my PTSD I suffer from from my childhood days and my military service. I write sometimes of romances I had or the women I met over time and who romantically interested me, or still do. I find romance something that can be intriguing and interesting, I also like to do murder mysteries and exploration stories now and them. I have done at least three books of poetry, which express feelings and emotions in such a way some say, they can feel the passion and love in them. What did I learn while attempting to write all the time, the emotional release is vital, and it make sme easier to live with. It helps me deal with pain, inner demons and sometimes suffering. It’s not the same all the time, so I never know what I may write next, most writers are like me in many ways, some of us are loners, we get lonely and dream and write. Writers see things in story form most of the time, or may be walking around and taken back in time to a place they have been before and suddenly relive it on paper. So many things can trigger a writer to write. It’s all about a personality trait called a working mind and big mouth that can’t really talk out loud but can on paper. I hope the description makes sense to all of you, for it is who we are. Writers are not strange we are quirky though, emotional, sometime unstable or angry, or sometimes overly romantic or sad, we run on the emotional waves we feel. That’s my way of telling all why I write and why I believe others do too. I hope, it makes others think a little better about writers like myself and other writers I know, who I admire each day for their persistence and grit, and stick to attitude!
Are you like me, and need an outlet for your pain, angry, emotions, stress’s and tensions, or feelings? Write em down, form them into a story, an article or a verse and let the world here you, write and produce and publish it for all to see. It will help others understand you, help someone with their own problems and make you feel better! Do what makes life easier for you, Write I Do!
