Because I like to tell stories. I suppose that's the first and foremost reason. I like to entertain people, but in a fashion that exhibits creativity. Unfortunately, there's a whole host of entertaining activities I'm not good at, writing being the least of these.
I also like to explore ideas and "what ifs". I find that my ideas take shape with pictures, like you, but they run the race because the exploration and what ifs are driving them.
And lastly, if the nature of my ideas have any say, I write because I want those who read my writing to think about a subject or idea in a way they may not have before.

So, I guess those are the reasons I write.
