Why I Write

I WRITE…
Because I have a story to tell
A true story of who I’am
A story that is constantly changing
A story that is real
A story that you might see and relate to
A story that makes you realize, you too, are like me
A story that may make you smile
A story that may get you thinking

I WRITE…
Because I have to
This is how I express myself
This is how I release who I’am to the world
This is the one thing that keeps me sane
This is how I convey my message to you
This is my passion

I WRITE…
Because I have a craving to inspire
I have a need to motivate
I have a desire to spread peace
I desperately want to see a better world
I want to paint this world in kindness with my words

I WRITE…
Because my words are destined to reach the eyes of someone else
This someone else that is hurting, that is tired of crying, that feels like a failure
This someone who is a replica of who I was
This someone who needs to know that it is going to be okay
Because I’am okay.

I WRITE…
Because I want my children to read my journey
I want my children to see their childhood within my writing
I want my children to know what life was through my words
I want my children to know I had a passion and I wasn’t afraid to share it with the world
I want my children to know they taught me more than I could ever teach them

I would like to thank Faaiza, from http://www.ModestMunchies.com, for tagging me in the ‘Why I Write’ challenge. Please check out her wonderful blog and her post on why she writes, http://modestmunchies.com/write/ . Above, you have read why I write, and down below are some of the questions I had to answer for this post:

What am I working on?
I’am currently in the process of adding more posts to my blog; in particular, I will be adding more of my non-fiction parenting stories, as there is a high demand for those posts. Furthermore, I’am working towards networking with some fantastic women and joining some wonderful organizations- stay tuned!

How does my work differ from others in its genre?
My writing is about my unique experiences as a parent. Although many individuals may have gone through a similar experience as I have, there is no one person out there has gone through what I have in the exact same way.

How does your writing process work?
As soon as I get an idea for a post, I need to write it down. Currently, I have dozens of ideas written down…so I really need to find the time to transform those ideas into actual blog posts!

Thank you for stopping by, enjoy your day!
