Writing

Why do I write? What can I possibly hope to get out of this kind of time-consuming, frustrating and endless activity? Part of the reason I write is that I know I have talent and I know that if I work hard, I can make it. There are a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest is the drive to create. I wrote this passage way back in December for an English paper, but I think it perfectly describes why I choose to writer, to be creative. 


            How does it feel?
            It’s like suddenly your brain runs in a million different directions. You are obsessed, a person possessed by the need to bring your fantasies to life.
            Creativity is like a match. It ignites something dormant inside.
            You are different, extraordinary and you can do anything.
            Even change the world.

    Dear Wendy,

    How beautiful and inspiring! I've read your work before and you sure do have a talent for writing.

    My friend told me that most writers have side jobs. Kind of like an artist since they need an additional job to support themselves. This way, you can pursue both dreams of becoming a writer and a cosmetic chemist.

    Love,
    Joanna
