Why do you want to be a writer?

Question

There are lots of posts on Yahoo! Answers by kids who want to write. I'd like to know why. What the inspiration is.

Answer 1

It's a good thing they like to write!

I have always loved writing... Usually , i have inspiration by reading a book , watching a movie ,and sometimes happens i would get it from nowhere!

I assume that it's in my nature , i'm a decent writer after all , i'm still learning to write!

But , writing is a great thing , it increases  the creativity and the imagination ,and sometimes it feels alot easier to express  your thoughts and emotions!

In particular I find peace in writing !

xx greetings ;]

Answer 2

Inspiration is different for everyone. I love, love, love to write, and I certainly want to become an author. I don't really know what my inspiration is. I think it's the thought of creating something wonderful all my own that others can enjoy--causing them to feel the same way about my writing that I felt about the writing of those before me.  

Answer 3

I don't know if I'll be able to express this well, but I'll try my best.

I have a unique life. My experiences are something no one can claim for their own. I know that it makes me different from my classmates and sometimes that makes me lonely, but it is worth it. My writing is always there for me in hard times, making me remember how happy and grateful I should be. God has obviously given me a gift and it would be like a sin not to use it. I want to show the world just how special I am, and my stories and poems do just that. When I show people my poems, they have always said I have talent but I never really believed them. Now I have decided to take their advice and start writing more often. By now it is just part of who I am. I can't go through a whole week without coming up with a new story idea or writing a couple poems. It is part of what makes me so special, and I don't want to give that feeling up.

Answer 4

I like writing. It's as simple as that.

Answer 5

I've never actually tried, but some day (I'm a senior in hs now), I want to try.  I have all of these intricate stories in my head and I think it would be really cool to see it all down, in order, on paper.  I read like mad, and I think a lot of other kids are starting to also.  There's a point when you transform from the reader to the story teller.  You've watched(read) for so long, now you want to try it.

Hope that helped!!!!

Answer 6

i dont

Answer 7

It's part of me and who I am , writing is me and its part of my soul. I don't know anything else that I enjoy more than writing that makes me feel so alive and complete.

Answer 8

Writing express you feeling...and  points out u r. I wonderful to create a story from ur own mind.  

Answer 9

I wanna be a writer because I have read so many inspiring things.  I mean it's not just books, but it's movies, songs, and poems.  The world of writing has a lot of possibilities.  And writing has a lot to give, it's a way of expression.  I think that by writing, it's a way to giving to the world.

Not to mention that Language Arts is the only subject I excel in at school.  If I can't make it in writing, I'm not gonna make it in anything else.

Answer 10

From a very young age, I always took a great interest in reading and writing. I always excelled in English language and literature which was of great comfort to me because my mathematics skills were laughably deplorable. I'm always reading books and writing creative stories and reading witty restaurant reviews and I love combining my literature skills with my wit to actually make people laugh (with what I write!) I can't wait for my exams to begin and to go to university because that'll be my time to shine (intelligence isn't exactly applauded in the school I'm currently in) and I'd love to be an author or a journalist when I grow up because it's been my dream since I was a child. I always promised myself that I would write and release a book into the world before I was 19 years old and I hope I do. I don't want to write to become rich, popular or famous. I want to write because I want to become successful at something I enjoy and something I'm actually good at! Plus, good writing requires imagination, intelligence, wit, creativity and emotion! Fantastic!

Answer 11

I loved to write ever since I was five. I get straight A's in all subjects at school too, so it doesn't have to do with grades.

I think the sudden blast of teen writers is because of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. But the majority of those teens are BAD writers.

Answer 12

Because I enjoy it. Because I want to be known in years time for something that I have done. For something that I have created on my own.  

Answer 13

    I like to write because it's an artful and fun way to express my feelings, my imagination and who I am to the world.

     My insparation is all the stories I've read that don't end the way I wanted them to. If I write a story it ends how i want it to.

     By the way I'm goign to be published soon (yay me) so i'm excited about that. My book is titled "The New Dawning" for the moment and I don't know exactly when it will be out so yeah... hope that answers your question
