Why I Like To Write...in 10 minutes

I like to write because many times the words and the expressing myself come easier through writing. 



When I can sit on my own, I feel a sense of calm, nobody staring at me, no pressure, no questions I don't know how to answer, nobody to get upset with me - just me and whatever is on my mind, whatever I want to say, whatever words I choose to use.  It's wonderful and calming, I can be so eloquent, say the things that don't always come out easily from my mouth.  Description is easier.  I like words, I like using different words, how can I say this or that in another way, what other words could I use.  My handy dictionary and thesaurus sit beside my desk and are well used. 


So much can change with the use of a different word that means the same thing, although does it really?  The conotation of different words intrigues me. What would be the best word here, the best word there.  How will people, how will someone read it?  Will it excite them?  Will they understand exactly what I'm saying?  Will it put them right inside of me, inside my mind, seeing, experiencing exactly the same as me? 


I have always enjoyed writing and words, Boggle is one of my favorite games, why do I enjoy word games so?  Stories as well come to my mind, quickly and then they leave!  Writing keeps them alive before they escape!
