I don't just like writing- I adore it. You know that feeling when something intense happens, or emotions have just been building up inside of you for so long that you feel as if you don't get a pen and paper or your fingers to the keyboard you will simply expand until your body can't take it anymore and it eventually explodes? That is why I write. To stop myself from exploding. Hi…randomly stumbled across this blog and figured I should respond. I don’t just like writing- I adore it.

Do tell me more! And, well... based on some of the romance/chick lit writing books I've read (including this one!), they sort of differentiate chick lit with hen lit... I think hen lit's meant to be about women with kids/married women and such. Hmmm... I need to review that! :-) Good luck with your novel! Keep me posted. That’s good to know, Heather.

So sorry to hear about the lost comment. I didn't see it at all. :-( Anyway, good that this one came through! Thanks for sharing about your connection with writing. And yes, I've loved writing for as long as I can remember. In fact, eWriteLife is actually my first website. I just sort of neglected it over the years. Now, I'm trying to revive it. The same way I'm trying to revive my "real writing" life. :-) All the best to you, as always! Hi, Jasmin! So sorry to hear about the lost comment.

But then, I just don't like such 'literary snobbery' anyway. If people think it's worth reading, then it's worth writing. And publishing, for that matter. Just my 2 cents. ;-) Marjorie: I so agree with you on chick-lit being underrated. But then, I just don’t like such ‘literary snobbery’ anyway.

I want to take the things I've heard, seen and lived through, spin them into tales and set them loose. I like to write because I want to communicate creatively.

For me it's more than liking to write, I need to write. I don't know how to NOT write, so I guess my answer is that I like to write because it's what keeps me from going (more) insane. :) Will also tweet from my @sherina account!
