Why I Write

Why do I write? I write, I think, to learn more about myself And to feel more connected to the world. I write to try to make up for some old past mistakes And try to heal old wounds. I write because I have stories to tell and information I want and need to share. Most of all, I write because I am, at heart, an entertainer, And I want to entertain with my pen the way I used to do on stage, And, in my own small way, help to make the world a kinder, happier place. If I can accomplish some or all of these things, Then maybe one day I'll become as well-known As that other most famously prolific writer "Anonymous".
