I write to document things I learn in my life so that I can help others with my lessons. I also write because I enjoy the act of writing and improving my penmanship

I may have confidence issues

Also I have no reaction images but the face was something like confusion and sadness

to paraphrase something Orson Welles said about film, "it's the best set of toy trains a boy can have."

>> No.4413176

Bump, this could be a great thread.
I write because It's an emotional release. I have a brain that is a constant whirlwind so I have to vent or I get depressed.

>> No.4413178

Bump!

I also write because penmanship is fun and relaxing. Fixing my slant or perfecting my lower case f's feels good to achieve

>> No.4413179

b/c it's a decent identity to use for rationalizing how much of a loser i am.

>> No.4413182

Bump!
I ALSO write because I want to give back to the human race. The fact that I'm here and others are in the same position as me blows my mind, so writing is special to me because it's a way to communicate.

And there's many means of communication but for me written word comes easiest.

>> No.4413188

if you want to "give back", join the peace corps. your hackneyed writing isn't gonna contribute shit.

And you sound like a monkey. I'd give you a banana but I don't have any, sorry.

I write because I love filmmaking but I'm nowhere near good enough where someone would let me adapt a script.

But damn I'm a shitty writer.

I write because I fell in love with a fictional character and by creating my own loosely based on her and supplying a love interest I'm reconciling those feelings to evolve emotionally.

So, basically, I'm a faggot. Proud one tho.

>> No.4416434

Because I'm an egotistical faggot who thinks my ideas and internal struggles matter to other people and I want to leave behind a trace of these things because I'm afraid of eternal posthumous obscurity.
