Why do you write?

In "Writing Down the Bones" Natalie Goldberg says every so often that we should write down the reasons we write. Here are a few I came up with. Would love to hear yours whether they're the same or different.

1. I want to be remembered.
2. It makes me feel important.
3. I want to impress people.
4. To understand what I'm capable of.
5. Smart people write. I want to prove that I'm smart, just in case anyone has their doubts.
6. I want my least favourite people to envy me. (Scandalous, I know).
7. To be famous.
8. To be remembered fondly.
9. Writing is a creative outlet.

Hope your Sunday is great & Happy EQUINOX!
