Some reasons why I write

I write because I want to remember. I write to look back and to capture that day and that moment which is just lost. We feel like talking is so important, but all of those words that come out aren’t slowed down and they aren’t captured. They just float into the air and we can’t remember or go back to them. Writing slows us down so we can see what we really think, to capture those words and thoughts that go totally unnoticed. Isn’t it weird to see your thoughts on the page and you didn’t even know that is what you were thinking?

I find that most of my personal writing becomes "writing to discover." I usually don't know how I am going to end my piece. I just write. I jump around until I find a point that looks interesting. But I still rarely stay on that topic.
