Why do I write?

Why do I write?

I write with the hope that my words and characters will make other people laugh and cry and cheer and hope and dream.

I write because the “All I Ask Of You” reprise from the Phantom of the Opera musical made me think “I want to write something emotional like this.” And I am always striving towards that goal.

I write for the sheer joy and fun of it. It inspires me. It is my way to relax at the end of every day.
I write because if I don’t write, my stories will never be told. My characters’ voices will never be heard. And my worlds will remain unexplored.
