According to an email in my inbox this morning from She Writes, today is The National Day on Writing (in the USA – officially declared by Congress). One of the sponsors, the National Council of Teachers of English, posed the following question to the world at large: Why do you write?

So, after a bit of thought and some rather picky editing, here is my answer:

Stories haunt me, clamouring to be told, to entertain and, hopefully, reveal some truth, such as my belief that love conquers all #whyiwrite

What about you?
