Why write? It's in my blood. It's in my thoughts--aagh!--I have a story running all the time. Will the dragons prevail? Will she recover her captured husband? How will they defeat the enemy? Will she ever find a cure for magic? Those are just the fictional ideas. Then there's real life.
My husband's job is in danger. My mother-in-law is very ill with ALS. Why don't my students come to class? Why? Why? Next the professional reasons drive me to write.
I've been writing about writing. I've been creating ways to teach grammar. I also like to explore how students learn and what makes them successful. All this takes creative energy.
Finally there's the spiritual reasons for writing. I can tell others about what I believe. I can lift others' spirit. Perhaps I can even please HIM.
Any reason for writing is enough. It's cathartic. It's relaxing. It brings us closer to the Creator--wow, what a gift! So just keep writing!

I find things to write through inspiration, through life. It does help to get things off your chest. Blogging is a way of expressing yourself in a way that you can share with others, yet they can choose to read it or not. It's less intrusive. Anyways, I hope your students figure out what's best for them. Think positively about Dad's job as things will work according to His will. Prayer changes things.
