To Write or Not to Write?

What kind of silly idea is that to ask one who writes?  Writing is more than a hobby or lifestyle - to write is to exist, to breathe, to make a difference. A writer writes to inform and educate; to inspire and to entertain; to be heard above the noisy, chatter of uninformed people.

I write because of the pure pleasure and sound of the words as they flow from dreams. I write what I experience and feel, the words and actions of others that hurt my heart like falling on a rock. The spoken word can never be taken back. The written word is ageless and indelible as ink on parchment.

To write or not to write - that is not what a writer asks. We just write!
