Have you ever asked yourself just why you write? Is it for yourself,for your family, for a publisher or for your readers? I think that many of us write for all these reasons, and also because we feel the need to write.

Writing is a way of getting the thoughts out of our head and onto paper, it's a good way of dealing with things that frighten us or excite us - it's also a way of communicating our thoughts to others. I am constantly surprised by writing and by the changes it can bring about in our lives. Do you ever ask yourself why you write?
