I write because I'm that kid who needs to do something with their hands. I write because I have stories filling up in my head and the only way they can escape is through my hands and onto paper. I write because I love the sound a pencil makes when scratching onto paper. I write because I finally get to send the people I've created onto their adventures. I write so other people can finally imagen what I see every day. I do it in hopes that one day I will be brave enough to be like those characters I've created and to be able to take on the world. I write because i invites me into a society of people who have minds like me and don't critisize me for what I see. I do it so I can say what I want to say to the people that have tormented me for years. I write because I can finally imprint the person I want to be into my favorite stories. I write because it gives me a home. I do it, so I can be the person I've wanted to be.
I write, so I don't feel so alone
You know what I find to be really interesting?
I write for the same reason that I do art and love dance (although i can't dance myself, I love to watch it). I have this idea in my brain that I really want to get out in a visible form, but I never succeed on the first try, so I keep going. Four years later, I still draw, write, and love dance.
I write because I figure it's probably better to take out my issues on people that aren't actually real. But the real reason I write is because it takes me away from the horror that is real life, and it helps to quiet my brain at night so that I can actually sleep. It makes me feel like I belong somewhere, and I like that. That's why I write.
I write about little insecure characters so that I can make them a strong comforting person who will cuddle and be there for them. I write about characters with tragic backgrounds to let others know that they are not alone in this dark world. I write about fictitious worlds to escape my own horrid reality.
I write to just kind of get rid if everything that's bothering me. It's kind of my coping machanism. If I put all of my flaws into a character and they still get a happy ending, then maybe I can too? I know it sounds super deep but it does give me hope that I can put all of my thoughts into a story and that someone, somewhere, will enjoy it.
I like to write because I clear my head whenever I do. Focusing on another task helps me forget my other problems. I like to "escape" into a fictional world where any problems that exist aren't mine. I also write because I look up to many authors, and I want to be like them. Writing is fun too. I get to be the creator, and I can create anything I want.
I write because I have always used it as an escape from this world. In my books my characters are loved and protected, they lived in a world that I could control instead of the reality I had to face growing up. So, I guess I write to make a world better than my own.
I just realized that this sounds kinda sad but I'm not gonna change it because it's true.
That doesn’t sound sad at all, I think it’s something a lot of us can relate to

That's not sad, but it's relatable. That's exactly why I write too.
I write to express different worlds I have built up over the years through my own artwork and in my head. I have a particular passion for writing and storytelling too, and I'd like to show that.
I write because the world the world in my brain has become so dense that i need to put it somewhere to remember. Also i love writing because you can almost bring to life these characters that you've fallen in love with and introduce them to other people. Each character can embody some part of me and i can share my thoughts without really having to do so directly. I feel free to create whatever world i want with whatever i want in it, and there are no constraints. 2 of my characters have wings and i love writing about them flying because i can almost imagine myself in that situation and honestly flying is much better then sitting around at my laptop all day ignoring that i have 2+ hours of homework and even more studying. I may be failing a few classes but hey, Addox and Charlie are together and thats keppin me livin
I write because no one else is smart enough to understand what I want.

that couldnt be truer
Most people are idiots, anyhow.
All the teachers rambling on about symbolism.

BRO DONT GET ME STARTED
I hate it when teachers do that bc they don’t even know what the author was trying to accomplish, they just marginalize their work.
I think the real question this discussion should ask is "Why do you write like you're running out of time?"
why do you write
every second you’re alive every second your’e alive EVERY SECOND YOU'RE ALIVE
If I have my child go to a school where they read my book (I'm using my maiden name because it is weird and different while my child will have my husbands last name) and the teacher rants on symblism, I'm going to her class and throwing the book at the teachers face and yelling thats not what i meant

Bro don't get me started. Every time this conversation comes up I like to remind people about my 10th grade teacher made us write a paragraph about the symbolism in the book Hiroshima. You know, as if it wasn't a book about real people who survived a real event.
Like yeah, I'm sure that when the one lady threw her sewing machine into the well her exact thoughts were "Yeah, I'm just gonna do this because it'll be great symbolism if anyone ever writes a book about this." I'm sure she wasn't just shocked or anything like that.
I know I've brought that up before, but I cannot stress how insanely pointless that assignment was.
So I started writing because I wanted to have a story for my OC's and my friends and other people would ask me what I was doing and I would tell them that I am writing something and they would give me a strange look and say aren't you tired of writing essays or just writing in general and I just tell them it was for fun since I have nothing more interesting to do and now every time I take out my computer they say "writing again" and uhhh life just sucks. But I still love writing <3

One of the reasons I love my english teacher because he always starts his points on symbolism with "in my opinion, i think it could be/mean…".
