I agree.You just described me!JKPoindexter wrote:I always found it easier to write my feelings and thoughts down about things instead of actually telling the person how I felt. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes not. But for me it is the best way to get my point across. And it's also easier to describe things by writing them down, it gives me time to think about what I want to say.

I also have an awesome imagination and you're right,no one else will write anything if I won't.Plus I forget things if I don't write them downAnasko wrote:I write because I have an awesome imagination. If I don't write my stories, nobody else will. Eventually even I'd forget and then what would be the point of making them in the first place.

When your writing away with things flowing "in the zone", it feels good and the time just flies by.
You don't get that experience from reading!

I started at about three years old and never stopped. I used to come home from kindy with little books I made up with drawings in them and I'd tell my parents/babysitters my stories. Moment I learnt how to write I started scrawling as fast as I could. I destroyed schoolbooks looking for pages to write on.

I thought being a bit crazy was a prerequisite to being an author, how else do we keep entire other worlds and lives in our heads?ALynnPowers wrote: I thought I was the only one who thought this could happen to me!!

And I'm not going to follow that line of thought...that be the way to madness

I once wrote a story about a bunch of really eccentric people who thought they were super heroes. Then there was this really plain guy who just wanted to be an author, but the others thought he was the crazy one.

That made me LOL as my current work is a hero story that's slowly turning into a statement about political involvement and how it takes a community to make a change etc etc etc.ALynnPowers wrote:You made me lol.
