I write.

I write because it makes me feel alive.

I write because I morph into my character. I hate it when I have to kill my favorite characters. I love it when characters I hate get into a sticky situation.

I write because there's something scary about looking down at a blank page. What will I write? Will it work out? So I bring on the pen.

I write because I enter the golden gates of writing, instead of escaping the real world. I snatch bits of Real World here and there throughout my stories, making them more real to me.

I write because, if I don't have the power of words, I don't really have a power at all.
