Ooooh, haven't done this in ages!

Carol Malo posted a very interesting topic over in the off topic thread, asking when a person might determine it's time to stop writing. I've often wondered that myself, but my own answer always comes back to the fact that I can't not write. Trying to stop the stories and characters from coming into my head and the need to get them out on paper is akin to holding my breath. I can do it for so long before I start to turn blue.

But I know there are other reasons that people write, so I was thinking it might be interesting to see what some of them are. If you write - fanfiction, original fiction, poetry, anything - why do you do it?

And, as usual, any discussion would be even more interesting. wink
