Why I write or Why one should write

A few months back, I was at an event where I was telling someone about my desire to write a few children's books. They asked me, "Why?"

I replied, "I just want to, and also because I just can."

Every now and then, I get asked, "Why do you write? How do you write? How do you find time?"

Finding time is not a big deal. In fact, I can read fast, think fast, and write fast. The real challenge is finding the mindset to write—the inner peace. It's about evolving to a stage where I can get into a state of flow to write, and being consistent in writing. Not writing six posts a day and disappearing for six years!

Ideally, I should be writing more. I also believe, I am unfair to myself by not writing more.

Coming to the question of why I write:

I love to write. I love to think, and I love to share with the world how I think.

Deep inside, I also think there's a little bit of ego when people actually spend time and invest time in reading what you've written, especially when it strikes a chord with them. The ability to connect with someone through your words and to get a minute or so of their precious time.

Well, it is a high that one could get addicted to.
