Writing

Because it's magic.

Do you remember, as a kid, playing dress up? You could be anything - a princess, a knight, a horse, a singer, mime, actor, chef, writer- absolutely anything.

That is why I like writing. Because you get to get away from normal everyday life. You get to start over. You get to be who-ever you want to be. You get to play dress-up all over again, and pretend that ANYTHING can happen. Dragon? Yeah, cool. Goblin? Mmm Hmm. Fairy? Of Course.

In the world of writing, the impossible can become possible.

The magic of sharing your life, your love, your story, or another's that you have created- is, to put it simply, magical. What I like best of all is the beauty of the concept: imparting a fantastical idea from your mind to another's. It's marvelous beyond description.

When I put my pen to paper- or indeed, my finger to the keyboard, my heart thumps in excitement. It is this excitement that I use to turn everything into positive energy and make my piece of art special. Unique. Different. One of a kind.

It's like someone's finally cut off the chains that we are all born in - weak, relying on others, and trapped - and finally freed you. It's like feeling love for the first time and knowing your heart couldn't be fuller. It's like at the end of the movie, when they play that happy song, and the main characters ride off into the sunset together, when you can't help but cry in happiness. It's like biting into chocolate, and finding out there is caramel inside.

Writing is like there are no words to describe it, so all you can do is smile until your cheeks hurt, feel happy, and live life.

Why do I love writing? Because it makes me happy. Why does my heart sing when the first words flow onto the paper? Because when I write, people don't judge me. They look at the story I give them, the message I am trying to convey, and see me the way I want them to, because of my ideas.

Why, in writing, do I find relief from the stress and pain of life? Of everyday? Because its like you're all alone, in your own secret little world, like when you used to read under the covers by the glow of the torchlight. Because it's a part of me.

Because it's like having an enormous, wonderfully detailed daydream that you can share with the world.

I love writing, because it's it's magic.
