Why I Write

I write to clarify my thoughts and commit them as final. I write to make linear the abstract, segmented, incomprehensible parts of my mind.

I write to play with words, to run them through my fingers and see how they reshape themselves when thrown in a different way.

I write to simplify my convictions. If it packs a strong punch with as few words as possible, I know that I’m getting closer to the mark.

I write to sing along with other writers. I write to join the chorus of beautiful words.

I write because time always seems to have the advantage.

I write because I am lazy but love efficiency.

I write because I am not an alcoholic.

I write to help show that a limited vocabulary cannot stop the truth from being told.
