- You enjoy it. You love crafting characters, imagining worlds, and concocting stories.
- The only way you can express yourself is through writing. You use it to heal from your past, to understand your emotions, and to share parts of yourself otherwise hidden or kept secret.
- Writing is your escape. You use it to get out of your head, away from your struggles, and to leave your life temporarily.
