Do you hope to become famous – to leave a great literary legacy, like a NY Times best-seller? Or, is there something more? An urge to share your very self, to find your voice, to lay bare your soul and pour out your whole life’s essence on some empty page. Or, does inspiration spring forth only after being wrestled into submission by your relentless muse. Whatever the reason, once you discover your passion for writing, you will never want to stop.
Why do you write?

I write because I enjoy telling stories.
I have a means of being good,bad and ultimately going beyond my existence and not entering trouble… My words have helped me understand myself better and in a way bring out the best in me…
Describing why I write is ineffable to say the least but I live with the consciousness of words. I hear conversattions and I ask myself what it would be like in my own novel. Writing is more than an aspect of my life; it might someday become its entirety.
