Why am I writing?

1. I am not an entrepreneur by nature, I can not stand routine work, I'm not chasing material things supernatural. Thus, it is writing gives my life meaning, more precisely, is the pivot on which are strung all the other classes.
2. People need the book. New books. Very different: good or bad, entertaining or thought-provoking. When I write, it made a commitment to the common fund.
3. Sometimes you bursting with the desire to say something, but interlocutors interested in talking only about themselves and their experiences. Writing - a great way to dispose of the accumulated history, expressing them in the text.
4. Same with life experience. There is no point to prove his point of view in the debate, especially in disputes with those who do not own the subject of debate because of their age or other filters. Simply describe something lived through, making it the basis of the plot.

5. I love the Russian language, I bathe in it, I can not imagine life "in another language." Writing - this is my way to thank those who speak and think in Russian.
6. The structure of the film or the script now determined by the financial success that has the potential to bring tape. Everything is controlled by the producers, so it seems schematic and monotonous. In the books I can play with the plot or structure as you like. I do not feel the boundaries.
7. To be a writer - it is awesome cool. Especially if you do not live in St. Petersburg or Moscow, but in the city of metallurgists. You should have seen the eyes of people when I tell them that I - writer.
8. Thanks to social networks, you can instantly monitor people's reactions to their texts. And when you see that your stories are not just like them, and love them, love truly, you will not stop.
9. It should be one to understand that writing - a victim, not a way to earn money, and you immediately feel a freedom that is unlikely to give some other activity.
10. The habit to write, feel, language, do not be afraid of any large texts or such tiny, but meaningful, as one tweet in 140 characters, beautifully converted into a bunch of other, much more money classes. Election or advertising campaigns, public relations - the space is quite large.
11. When I write, it is under such emotional stress, which can not be compared with anything. It is most similar to hard drugs: first, all-consuming comes from inspiration, then breaking when you are studded with a dead end, then the opening of excitement when you get out of this impasse. This steeper downhill ski, steeper and steeper in love anything that can be imagined.
12. Writer's work brings harmony of thought and logic. An important quality of life.
13. Writing brings attention to the people. They are becoming more and more interesting, because each of them - a potential head of a new book. They feel it and often grateful for this interest.
14. Unwritten book - it is a challenge. If I do not accept it, sopyus faster than the old.
15. When I write, I learned a lot, a lot of interesting facts from the history, culture, philosophy, which I otherwise would never have noticed.
16. Some people think that the positions in the social networks - this is garbage. But if you come to write the post as the creation story, which should bring the reader to a climax and shake it to the ground - then everything falls into place.
17. My texts are introduced me to many interesting, beautiful and intelligent people I would otherwise never have met. Often they become the basis for a fruitful friendship.
18. Text - the best source and the best therapist. I save a lot of money on the rejection of analyst services. In addition, the text allows me without fear to look inside myself.
19. Sometimes, when you tell people that you're a writer, some are beginning to twist his face and say, "I, too, Leo Tolstoy, for Who are you taking?! "- or shout that I have no right to use obscene language, or that I'm something else should. This opens up tremendous vistas for trolling and pretty amusing.
20. I never get bored.
