In a recent post, why do you write? I asked you why you write?  

This post received an overwhelming response, and the answers were amazing.

The reasons why we write, are varied and passionate, but all share a common connection.

It seems as though, we write to express ourselves, as individuals, our thoughts, our feelings. It is a passion, so innately ingrained in our psyche.

As creative people, even if we tried we could never resist the urge to put pen to paper.

So I was so impressed with the response, I thought it might be nice to share them.
