So, in response to the #WhyIWrite on Twitter yesterday: I wanted to ask y’all for your answer to that question. Here’s mine:

Tape worms!? Yikes… poodles, okay, but tape worms is where I draw the line. 😉 🙂 😀 😛

I write because if I don’t, my head will explode with all the ideas clamoring to get out, the visions screaming for expression, the messages pounding against the walls of my mind with their fists and shrieking desperately to be let out and tell the world their story.

And it also helps that I’ve never enjoyed anything half so much in my life as I do writing.

I write because it’s the only way I understand my thoughts. Words turn my scribbles into straight lines.

Love the combination of goofy v.s. serious answers. 😛

I’m not sure if it’s still active on Twitter or not. I read about it second-hand.

And if y’all want my goofy answer: For backwards-facing passengers on subway things who need something to distract themselves from motion sickness.

Because good writing is a good thing and bad writing is a step towards good writing.

Because I have a reputation as a lunatic and a wordsmith to uphold— and what better way to kill both birds with one stone?

Because words are a powerful tool that can be used for God’s glory.

annnddddd…. because so many words and ideas well up inside of me that they have to spill out in some way or another and I happen to prefer that they spill out on a page even though it can tend to get messy at times. 🙂

Oooh, good question. Let’s see…I write because I want to provide teenagers (and adults) with books that are engaging without all the trash and gore that is so common in books now days. I guess I want to help battle all those nasty books out there with something exciting and engaging minus the garbage.
