Huh!
So, apparently, today is National Day on Writing. Who knew?
So, as I just posted to my twitter feed: "Because my head is too full of Other People. #whyI write"
There are some real gems in there:
From @spacejock: "To get the voices out of MY head and into YOURS."
From @neilhimself: "Because I can lie beautiful true things into existence, & let people escape from inside their own heads & see through other eyes."
From @LouMorgan: "Because I never trusted the primary school teacher who told me nothing good ever came of day-dreaming."
So, yes, apparently, today is National Day on Writing. Why do you write?
