Why Do You Write?
There are so many really good reasons not to write. It’s hard. What you write may annoy someone. What you write may annoy yourself. There’s so much good stuff on Netflix that you can watch instead of writing. What you write might turn out to be no good. What you write might turn out to be very good, but then you just have to figure out how to write another thing that good because you’ve raised your own stakes.
But if you’re here, you’re probably — oh dear — a writer, or at least writer-curious. Why? Do you have a story to tell? Advice to share? Are you looking to make some money on the side of your job as a doctor or data scientist or birthday party clown? Are you a voracious reader who wants to enter the conversation you’ve been listening to your whole life? Did you forget your Netflix log in?
Tell us in the responses!
