#whyiwrite

Continued thread

Why do I write? Last night I dreamed that a murder victim was stuffed into a large duffel bag and hung from a ski lift chair. The police discovered the body and it was still twitching. I need an outlet for all this stuff in my head - It's that simple.

Updated from a past reflection on #whyiwrite digitally. Still sort of long. But it covers my thinking about digital composition and why I am always trying new platforms and technology (as best as I can) as a writer.

When I first published my book, my author, book editor, and friend Frances A. Sales said, “Once the book is out there, it’s no longer yours; it belongs to the readers.”

So, I wrote another novel, then another after that. I didn’t give much thought to book sales; I just wanted to create something beautiful for readers. Perhaps, I hoped, my book might even make them fall in love all over again.

Your reference to a collaborative project about #whyiwrite from 2015 .... oh my ... flashback city ... but fascinating to read again what we all wrote about writing, and to remember how that particular teaching network that had a lively home on the Ning platform.

(looking at things from a distance, I realize how many different spaces I have done projects in, and how many of those platforms are long gone. Be ready to ramble, at a moment's notice!).
