Why I Write

To be honest, I don't really know why I write. Or, to be even more honest, I kinda know why I write but it's still a little hard for even myself to comprehend.

How do you explain to someone that writing is what keeps you sane? That you love words so much and they occupy such a large portion of your thoughts, it's very overwhelming when the words don't have an outlet.

Then there's also the romanticised ideal of a writer that I dream of - the pen-and-leather-bound-notebook wielding word-smith (I'm old-fashioned that way, iPads just aren't cut out for that sort of writing) who strings words together and partakes in word play like it's child's play.

That's my gold standard.
