I read your comment yesterday morning. And so far i don't have an answer on Why i write. It's complicated i think. To come with a simple motivation to write. Yesterday, trying to figure this out i've come up with many answers.

I really like to read. It's something that really amuses me. I have a little preference for fiction books, so i guess this kind of drive me to one of my motives to write:

Everyone has a story to tell.

I am not judging if it's a good or bad story, but everyone can tell you one, be it real or made up, so here am i. With some texts i wrote that i will "show to the world".

But i think theres more than this for me. I like to write(fiction) because it give me a little of godlike powers. Because you control the future of all of your characters.

I'm talking here about fiction writing because that's what i like to do, i see people writing about many subjects here, like self-improvement, but i don't think i'm fit to write about this. I can't help myself about dealing with the fear about writing bad stuff. What would i have to say for someone else?

But writing is as well sort of a relief for me. It's a good time i spent in front of my computer, doing something completely unrelated to my daily job. And this is another "why" i write(well, at least when i have a free time).

An theres more. I write because, when i see something, being it on a game i'm playing or book i read, or a people passing by, maybe a joke or a single word. Well, sometimes, i come up with ideas. Little "scenes" that i turn into a few words(again, not judging it good or bad).

Then, after all that dilly dallying, i believe i can say that i write because i really like it. I enjoy turning some of my thoughts in texts, but i have to admit that it's not easy, and that i have let many of my stories unfinished, not because i didn't have ideas, but because i felt that they would "not be good at all"(something i'm not proud of).

I guess this text is becoming too big. But i've put up with some reasons for me to write.

Sorry for the late response. :)
