I write because writing is the gift God has given me to help people in the world.

I write because I'm in love with language; because I like working for myself, inside my head; and because it's the only way I know to make a stab at answering the never-ending questions of the heart that arise simply from the everyday living of our lives.

I write because it's my way of finding cool ideas, thinking through hard problems and things I don't understand, and getting better at something.

I like writing because you can make things happen and turn out the way they never do in real life.

I write in order to find out what I truly know and how I really feel about certain things. Writing requires me to go much deeper into my thoughts and memories than conversation does. Writing provides the solitude necessary to reflect on being in this world.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.

I write because I like to make things and the only things I am good at making things with are words.

I write simply because I hear voices of people in my head who won't give me peace until I convey their stories to the rest of the world. Seriously. They've always been with me. While other girls played with dolls, and my brothers with Hot Wheels, I was busy traveling through space or traipsing through graveyards with my imaginary playmates.

I love to write. I love it. I mean there's nothin in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I'm so very bad at it.
