Why Do We Write?
If you ask that question often enough you start to recognize some repitition in the answers.

1. Because I have to write --- for creative outlet.
2. Because I have a story--- and need to tell it.
3. Because I read a book that was terrible --- and I know I can do it better.
4. Because I like to tell stories --- and somebody told me I should be a writer.
