Why I write

I write because speaking out is hard, and this is one of the only ways I can get my voice heard, and the words that choke me when speaking seem to flow out when given a pen and paper. I write because the truth is easier to say if you don't say anything at all.

I write because I find it fascinating how words alone can bring someone to tears, or lift them up, and to be able to take the reader out of this world, even for a little bit, is something I aim for. The beauty of words is something I try to capture, to paint a picture so vivid, and breathe life into new worlds.

But most of all, I write because it's all I know how to do.
