Writing is very much in my blood. My mother was a Librarian, my Dad a Clergyman and Teacher who wrote great sermons. I have always been drawn to this medium ever since I could put pen to paper. I used to write letters and stories, poems and make my own books from the age of 5 yrs old. ![]()
I write because I love composing delicious pieces of prose.
I like the reaction I get when I move someone to cry or laugh or feel angry on a character's behalf.
I like how the writing appears on the page hence my websites, my blog and the magazine and book I produced.

I write because it is cathartic and helps me see things in a different perspective. I can play around with our rich language.
Why do I write? Because I love it!
Most recently I enjoy writing haiku
and Limericks for Madeleine Kane's Blog prompt.
A woman was playing with fire
When her foot was then caught in a tyre
She screamed for some help
Though none heard her yelp
As her body became flame and then pyre
Why do you write?

All good reasons, Madeleine. I started writing at 12 to escape from reality -- and now, probably for the same reason!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the blogfest!
ReplyDeleteI love your reasons for writing. Writing is cathartic for me, too. I've got lots to explore, so it's a great outlet.
I enjoy your writing. Keep at it. I love the different perscpective thing, too. But then I love exploring and discovering. :D
ReplyDeleteBecause you love it- well that's a darn good reason!
ReplyDeleteMadeleine, love the photos of your books from age five.
ReplyDeleteClergyman & the Librarian - seems like that would make for a great story (if you haven't already written it!) Glad you jumped in here.
Writing is cathartic--so true! Thanks for sharing this. Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteOh your limerick!! How fabulous!!! And look at your writing since you were five! How lovely!!! Thanks for sharing your fabulous reasons why you write!! Take care

Grim limerick! Love the homemade books. That is adorable.
ReplyDeleteMadeleine, your childhood really does sound like the beginning of a novel :)
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind me asking, what is the cloth doll magazine you pictured? It looks like something my daughter would love.
You really started young. I can see I'm going to have to encourage my grandson to make his own books. Does he ever have the stories to tell!
ReplyDeleteI think I write 'cause I love it ;) I don't know if I can explain WHY I love it? I just do! ;)
ReplyDeletedefinitely can change your perspective!

ReplyDeleteAs good a reason as any. :D

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your directness. Seems like your early inspiration still grows.
All good reasons to write. And we're all so glad that you do!
