Ten reasons I write

I’m talking about the poetry, fiction, even letters and blogging. My “personal” stuff, much more than anything I usually did at the office.

1. To remember.
2. To explore.
3. To play with language.
4. To connect.
5. To dialog with myself.
6. To read/share in public. To be part of a community.
7. To become visible, earn recognition in the now fading dream of fame.
8. As a form of prayer.
9. To better understand and appreciate other writers. See what makes their work tick from the inside.
10. To make money?
