Yesterday's Boston Writing Careers asked: "Why Write?"
If you've ever wondered why writers feel compelled to write—and why so many people say they want to write, here are some more reasons. Writers write to:
- instuct
- investigate
- inform
- explore
- educate
- explain
- entertain
- expose
- report
- record
- document
- satisfy their curiosity
- express their unique perspective
- share their vision
- tease out the meanings concealed in events, circumstances, or life itself
You can see quite a few more reasons at Why Writers Write. If the writing bug won't leave you alone, any or all of these might be fueling your desire to write, as a profession or as an avocation. Luckily, there are tons of resources—many in the Greater Boston area—to help you get started.
