Why We Write

Now that we're nano-ed and na-blo-wn out, why are we still writing?

As we tie up the loose ends on our first book, we're counting the million reasons amongst ourselves for continuing to show up. We're not just scribbling because the voices in our heads say, "Write." We've got to do it. If we didn't write, we wouldn't be writers.

voices in our heads (developing foreheads and nodding): 'nuff said

writers (perking up): thank you

voices in our heads (developing fingers and wagging): keep writing

writers (crawling back into our caves and muttering): okay, okay

Keep writing! It's fun! Be sure to come to our next meeting. 12/15/07.
