5 Reasons I Love To Write
My Top 5
Hello and welcome! Before getting right down to it, we should really talk about what writing is, and then I will give you five reasons why I love to write.
Writing, as described by dear old Google, ‘is the process of using symbols (letters of the alphabet, punctuation and spaces) to communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form. It can also refer to a career’, such as that of author or freelancer.
There are many different reasons why people write, and not everyone does it as a career or profession. Some just love the act of writing for reasons known only to themselves.
For myself, I started enjoying writing from a rather young age. As a sickly child, I had to do something that wasn’t watching TV, since I wasn’t strong enough to play outdoors sometimes, plus my siblings and cousins preferred playing outdoors instead of keeping little old me company. I grew to enjoy my own company and that of the characters I read about in countless books, reading having been an escape from my own solitude into worlds of adventures, heroic characters and wild lands of magic and fantasy.
Eventually, that led to the first reason I love to write…
