Why Do I Write

I don't think I write for approval? But I certainly don't write for disapproval! Nor do I write to be loved – but you won't catch me stepping aside if any extra aimed in my direction.

Hi Joe, this is exactly the reason most of us write. For me writing is a way to keep my mind from all unruly thoughts and a means of relaxation ! Also as we begin writing and reading we learn much more. I concur with your thoughts dear friend !
