I have loved stories since childhood and enjoy telling them

I have characters in my head that are shouting to be heard

I enjoy creating new worlds, new places, new people and new situations

I enjoy examining how characters think, feel, and act in situations I create for them

I have ideas and perspectives that I wish to share via stories

I have the talent for writing/storytelling and feel a need to share that via stories

I seek to connect with readers via stories

I wish to teach others some of the truths I've learned or value

I want to entertain others via exciting, intense, dramatic, wondrous, or thoughtful stories

I cannot imagine NOT writing

I want to make a living and quit my day job

I want to be a famous, respected author
