Why+I+write

Why I write by Austin July I love to write. Writing makes me feel in control. When I write, it seems like I can do anything. Writing makes me happy! I like to write for many reasons. A lot of people say that writing is useless and dumb, but I beg to differ. I love coming up with ideas and stories. Making my own scene and characters is exciting to me. It’s kind of like when you see little kids playing with dolls. There just creating their own stories through toys. So I guess you can say I replaced a Barbie doll with a pencil and paper. Writing persuasively isn’t that awful, but I tend to favor fiction (or historical fiction) stories or even speculative essays. I’ve been trying to write a story on the wiki, but distractions and a bad case of writer’s block keeps getting in the way. This is why I love the wiki; you can share your ideas with other people without worrying about what others think about it. I always wanted to write a novel and I think that the wiki is a good place to start.
