I write because there’s something in me that needs to come out. I am at peace when I write. Writers write for many different reasons. Some personal, experiential, or environmental. Christine Caldalzo created a pictogram of 10 reasons writers write. Here I share 10:
10 Reasons Writers Write
- They love to write
- To express their thoughts
- To communicate
- To share experiences
- To tell about events
- To share their feelings
- To persuade
- To teach
- To Ask Questions
- They want something
Does any of the above resonate with your reason(s) to write? Any missing that you would like to add? Do share. We would love to hear.
Cheers!
