I started writing when I was about 5 years old, and I never really knew why. I just knew I had stories in my head, and I wanted to tell them, and I seemed pretty good at it.
Then I had a 5 year period where I wrote absolutely nothing, because it was 'hard' and I was 'too busy', and it was agony.
Now that I'm writing again, I don't just write because I love diving into worlds and bringing them to life, but because I'm honestly afraid not to. That's why I don't just write, but I write every day, even when it's hard, and even when I don't really feel like it. I'm afraid of how horrible it felt when I didn't write.
