Why Write

One of the main reasons to write is to communicate. Even with telephones being around for so long, a lot of people's favorite ways to communicate with others are through texting, Facebook, and Email. Partly because you get to plan out what you're going to say. Some people feel more comfortable, for instance, writing someone a letter, instead of communicating by telephone or in person. They may even say more through their writing than they do through their words said out loud.

I write because I have to and because I want to. There's no way around it for 99% of anybody whose ever been or ever will be successful. Writing is just a part of life. A reason I like writing is that even if it's a research paper, you can still be highly creative. You get to choose the words you write and it's freeing.
