Why do Writers Write



A while I did a post on the reasons that you might want to write. I thought I'd go to the experts now and find out what motivated them to devote their life to the craft. Of course I would have needed a separate book just to capture all their thoughts. So I did the next best thing, encapsulated their answers into single words, and then made it into a word art picture. I tried to find the best combination of fonts and colours to make it easy to read. But if you have to squint a bit and put on the drug store reading glasses to decode the smaller print, that's okay because it's means you are engaged.
These ideas come from the great minds of such diverse writers as Stephen King, to Scotts Fitzgerald, Judy Blume, Lord Byron and Ernest Hemingway. But as you wade your way through I'm sure you'll find some common threads. Enjoy and see what maybe is a fit for you.
