Tell Us: Why Do You Write?
Today is The National Day On Writing. No, really, it is. It was officially declared to be so by the Congress, so you know it's for real, and it's sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English. To mark the day, they have posed a question to the world, or at least the world of writers (that would be our world): Why Do You Write?
I love this question, and I love the answers it brings. We had a wonderful six-word memoir contest (inspired by the six-word memoir project at Smith Magazine) on this very subject, and I invite you all to answer it in a new form on She Writes today: tell us why you write in 140 characters or less. That way you can get in on the action (if you are a Twitter user) by tweeting your answer as well and marking it with the hashtag #whyiwrite. Our friends at the YA site Figment.com are participating, as is the The New York Times Learning Network and many others, so we will all be in very good company.
My answer?
Writing is my leap of faith in the face of impermanence and loss, my hope that it is possible to ease pain by speaking truth. #whyiwrite
What's yours?

At the top of that long road, the woods behind me and Earth pulsing out a silent name, eternity watched as I first heard its sacred humming.

My story begins with all the stories before mine, and I am obligated to keep the tendrils of collective memory alive, extended.

I write to make sense and order of life. I write to ask the questions that have no answers.

I write because I'm the youngest of five and grew up never getting a word in edge wise, so there.

I write because I cannot NOT write! It is very much a part of who I am since it feeds my soul and the creativity sparks my intellectual energy!

I write because I have a story to tell from my heart.

I write because nothing unifies people like a really good story; the one thing we can all relate to is a really skillful lie that reveals truth.

I write what the voices in my head tell me to write -- so instead of people thinking I'm crazy, they'll see I'm being creative.
