Ok so there are a lot of us writers out there, both amatuer, pro, and just-for-fun.

What I want to know is, check off the things in the poll that apply to you.

Reply/comment if you like, but make sure you do the poll!

I checked the following:
CHECK THIS ONE- NO MATTER WHAT
I write every day, if I can.
I write to remember or cherish.
I write to cope.
I write to satirize.
I write to entertain.
I write both fiction AND non-fiction.

Where are the "I write to flatter someone" and the "I write to communicate and share philisophical ideas" options?

The poll is not to represent every aspect of writing styles, but to single out a few key styles I was interested in. If it's not up there, it's not part of the poll.

Thanks for polling!

I write for so many reasons, but mostly because that is the best way I can represent myself.

writing lets out some of the many thoughts and emotions hidden in the deep recesses of the soul and imagination.....

Writing is wonderful, almost as wonderful as reading what others have written (if its from the heart)

Writing is a way of...really...kinda....clarificating...like..what i think. ya know.

My writing mostly helps me to cope with something, like right now, or to remember a moment in time. Most of my personally most moving pieces have been after some kind of life changing event in my life

Eowyn_Vala · 11-04-2003, 05:41 PM

I just write when I get the urge to. Sometimes it is every day, sometime I go a few weeks without writing. Sometimes I write about stuff in my life, other times I don't. I have noticed most of my writing lately like within the last 8 months or so focuses more on my life or feelings or some tangent of that. I haven't written pure fiction in a while.

Writing is what you want it to be for you, it is what you let yourself express. When you let yourself go, you get the best stuff!
