Why I Write

Yes, I missed "National Writing Day" but now we are in "National Novel Writing Month" and while I do not have time to write a 50,000 worded novel (especially since I'm busy working on the one I've already begun) I do want to speak a little bit on why I write what I write.

I write hero stories because I want to save a life.

I write sapphic stories because I believe the gay community needs more "happy" literature. (Sometimes it is happy, I promise).

I write my mood because I feel better after words. I like to read my feelings and pretend for a second those words are someone else's and there's no need for me to be so sad.

I write reality because I want to give people hope that in this dark world, there is light.

I write essays because I like to tell people my opinion.

And I wrote this because at first I was angry. But now I feel better. Thanks, Writing!
