Why I write anything at all.

“I don’t write for my friends or myself, either; I write for it, for the pleasure of it.”

Why I write.

  It occurred to me today, that writing has really been about self-preservation in a world that is absolutely maddening. It gives me pleasure to write. Happiness. Peace of mind. Joy. That's it. That's the sum of why I write. Nothing more. Nothing less.
