Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to write about the things that I love.
I had a strong desire to write and some free time.
Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me.
I always felt that I was a writer, that was what I had to do.
I wanted to write stories I wanted to read, that I and my friends related to.
I felt like I was never going to be a great writer. I felt like I was going to be a good writer at best. I wanted to be great at something.
I felt like I could write about quiet, self-contained moments and also about those moments when the world rushes in again.
I felt that I had to write. Even if I had never been published, I knew that I would go on writing, enjoying it and experiencing the challenge.
All I wanted to do was read, to be told stories. Stories were full of excitement and emotions and characters that entertained and often inspired.
I really just sat down to write. I mean, I did what most writers do when something happens that's overwhelming, fascinating, moving, all of that.
