Why do we write?

[Snusmumriken]

I'm seriously torn between being mad at myself and just about everyone else here for trolling on this honest calling and asking what they expected on a forum that's mainly about which sexual abomination is the hottest to read.

Because he made this thread intentionally.

I expected this. And yet I asked anyway.

I'd also like to add that Jesus didn't come for the saved. For the people who were "perfect". He came for the sinners. The nasty, deprived, depressed, and unrighteous. He came to save everyone. Including the worst of humanity. This sort of general response to my post is expected. I just hope that someone finds their towards God through it. Even if their just as bad as Hitler.

For a long while I wondered what was it that made me want to write. I only figured it out today. I write because God gave me the ability to do so, and that by doing so I express his glory.
But that's just me. Why do you[whoever you are] write?

Back on topic, though. God have you many gifts, what made you pick writing specifically?

 

[CupcakeNinja]

Because his bush isn't burning...

No, it is. I've had crabs before. Fucking crystal bitch. I bought rose quartz for that slut

Well, it is up to the commenters to respond to an OP who looks like they are about to proselytize. I treated the topic seriously in my opinion.

There are a few reasons.

I have spent my entire life since age 7 involved in the martial arts at various points in my life. As such, it has become ingrained in me to be constantly improving myself, especially in ways where I can see the results myself.

Before I had discovered my ability with writing, I had mostly seen this improvement in physical aspects. However, when I started writing, I started seeing a more intangible but equally powerful area of my skills improving.

The thing that made me throw in entirely to writing was when money became tight and I no longer had the ability to shell out $100 a month on my martial arts classes. But, with constant improvement still being an important part of my lifestyle, I had to fulfill that drive and now writing was the only outlet for it. (And of course, it helps that I receive a small stipend from my writing as well that is now starting to approach the same amount I used to have to pay for my classes.)

I have gone to the obsessive effort of doing what I can to improve every conceivable aspect of my writing. It has been a truly amazing journey from knowing almost nothing about literature and being actually quite bad at writing (my first earliest works I posted to SH are after 8 years of practice on works that were never published, and I really sucked back then. Even my first SH postings suck compared to what I can do now.) And now, I would in no way call myself anything truly amazing, but I am improving at an exponential rate both in my own ability and also in my knowledge base of literature-related information. This rate of improvement has pushed me to a point where I can at least look to the real greats and call them a reasonable goal. A goal which I plan to pursue with a fiery passion.

I was also serious too.~ Well, on my initial post! The others are questionable.

I always enjoyed reading every since I was little.
In first grade I had a Christian teacher who specialized in teaching about reading and writing.
Eventually I wanted to try.

I just took a read through the other comments on this thread. Some are more candid than others, but I don't think I saw any that really screamed "troll."

Writing is bun, it's like putting thoughts into words and sharing em w someone else, it's almost a sort of undirect communication w my readers, i dont talk to you, but i show you a part of my imagination it may 'ot be gook but ok, it's bun, ferry bun.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I write to make the world a more loving, accepting place.
I write for my gods, too. The thing is that I see a little bit of God in everyone and everything. God speaks to me more through some people than others, though. Most people just call them muses, but they are more than that to me.

I think somehow your left index finger managed to get misaligned on your key board when you were writing this.

I should also mention that I write stories where the main character either has a ridiculously bottom heavy figure or unrealistically large breasts.

How!!?

Thank you for your wise words.

How!!?

Feedback for my story please. 18+

I just want some feed back for my story. Heres the first chapter: Amanda brought the brush to her long white hair. Every stroke bringing it closer to perfection. The morning ritual had been completed, and her hair had reached it's desired state. Next on her list of morning tasks was getting...

Most people just call them muses, but they are more than that to me.

My pursuit of writing, and my afore mentioned rise from being a rather bad writer to what I am now, has lead me to completely discount the idea of talent even being a thing and has also caused me to view the concept of "muse" as a harmful crutch that will destroy your ability to write effectively.

That is not to say there is not inspiration. What I mean is that if you are dependent on the muse in order to write, then you will loose your feet when the muse inevitably leaves you. You need to gain the power to write even without that sort of thing.

You can also be divinely inspired. If you want to see what that looks like, take a look at my "A New Hero God" series. (A series that fizzled out due to lack of reader interest in comparison to other more popular series on my writing list. I hope to get back to it at some point, but I have 2 other series that I need to lay the groundwork for in my shared multiverse first before I return to that one.)

I am the type who rejects the idea of the muse, but occasionally when I write I feel a very strong pull to bring my creation in a particular direction. That is what I call divinely inspired, and that was very active when I wrote the introduction portion of "A New Hero God."

I write out of spite, because some plots didn't go the way I wanted them to.

For most of my muses, it's the opposite. I appreciate them when they are part of my life, but the inspiration comes when they leave me. I miss them, and writing is how I cling to my memories of them.
