I write to just kind of get rid if everything that's bothering me. It's kind of my coping machanism. If I put all of my flaws into a character and they still get a happy ending, then maybe I can too? I know it sounds super deep but it does give me hope that I can put all of my thoughts into a story and that someone, somewhere, will enjoy it.
I like to write because I clear my head whenever I do. Focusing on another task helps me forget my other problems. I like to "escape" into a fictional world where any problems that exist aren't mine. I also write because I look up to many authors, and I want to be like them. Writing is fun too. I get to be the creator, and I can create anything I want.

So true.

I write because I have always used it as an escape from this world. In my books my characters are loved and protected, they lived in a world that I could control instead of the reality I had to face growing up. So, I guess I write to make a world better than my own.
I just realized that this sounds kinda sad but I'm not gonna change it because it's true.
That doesn’t sound sad at all, I think it’s something a lot of us can relate to

That's not sad, but it's relatable. That's exactly why I write too.
I write to express different worlds I have built up over the years through my own artwork and in my head. I have a particular passion for writing and storytelling too, and I'd like to show that.
I write because the world the world in my brain has become so dense that i need to put it somewhere to remember. Also i love writing because you can almost bring to life these characters that you've fallen in love with and introduce them to other people. Each character can embody some part of me and i can share my thoughts without really having to do so directly. I feel free to create whatever world i want with whatever i want in it, and there are no constraints. 2 of my characters have wings and i love writing about them flying because i can almost imagine myself in that situation and honestly flying is much better then sitting around at my laptop all day ignoring that i have 2+ hours of homework and even more studying. I may be failing a few classes but hey, Addox and Charlie are together and thats keppin me livin
I write because no one else is smart enough to understand what I want.

BRO DONT GET ME STARTED
I hate it when teachers do that bc they don’t even know what the author was trying to accomplish, they just marginalize their work.
I think the real question this discussion should ask is "Why do you write like you're running out of time?"
why do you write
every second you’re alive every second your’e alive EVERY SECOND YOU'RE ALIVE
If I have my child go to a school where they read my book (I'm using my maiden name because it is weird and different while my child will have my husbands last name) and the teacher rants on symblism, I'm going to her class and throwing the book at the teachers face and yelling thats not what i meant

Bro don't get me started. Every time this conversation comes up I like to remind people about my 10th grade teacher made us write a paragraph about the symbolism in the book Hiroshima. You know, as if it wasn't a book about real people who survived a real event.
Like yeah, I'm sure that when the one lady threw her sewing machine into the well her exact thoughts were "Yeah, I'm just gonna do this because it'll be great symbolism if anyone ever writes a book about this." I'm sure she wasn't just shocked or anything like that.
I know I've brought that up before, but I cannot stress how insanely pointless that assignment was.
So I started writing because I wanted to have a story for my OC's and my friends and other people would ask me what I was doing and I would tell them that I am writing something and they would give me a strange look and say aren't you tired of writing essays or just writing in general and I just tell them it was for fun since I have nothing more interesting to do and now every time I take out my computer they say "writing again" and uhhh life just sucks. But I still love writing <3

One of the reasons I love my english teacher because he always starts his points on symbolism with "in my opinion, i think it could be/mean…".
Dude, my teacher used my drawing for an example on the story we were reading and was talking about how her outfit resembled how she didn't want to draw attention to her self and so let her clothes do the talking. It made a great resemblance to real life how we let out internet selves do the talking because we don't want to draw attention to our real selves. She also talked about how she didn't have a face because she didn't want to be portrayed as being physically beautiful. I raised my hand and said that-
A) I can't draw faces and
B) I like drawing anime outfits
so all that you just said was a lie. I almost got suspended but it was worth it.
I hate it when teachers do that because they’re taking something that’s expressive and personal and putting it in a box. There are some things that you just can’t decipher, but that’s ok. There doesn’t have to be a reason for everything.

That's honestly wild lmao.
Tbh part of me thinks it would be really hilarious to have someone analyze my stories English teacher style just so I can do this exact kind of thing. Like I would love to have someone tell me why I decided to name my characters Eva only for me to tell them that she's actually just named after a horse.
Some of my names line up super well for analyzation, and others….don't….
Same. I don't really think too much thought into names and kinda just go with ones that I like over ones that have a special meaning that is fitting for that specific character. I do have a few that happen to fit quite well, but it's just a coincidence.
I’ve never really written until I started using Notebook. I’d always think about my characters and their stories, constantly imagining them. When I was recommended this site however, I finally started documenting them and saw who/what they really are! It was pretty cool, so now I stick to doing it. (^-^)

I'm the exact opposite. Every name base a specific meaning which correlates to who they are in the story. It takes me hours to pick my names 😂
