Insanity.

That is what possess me when I write.  Pure, unadulterated madness.

But if it didn't, I wouldn't stay sane.

Writing, and it doesn't matter to me if it is fanfiction or "real" 
writing, is a smithing.  I take a piece of my soul, and heat it in the 
fires of imagination, hammer it on the anvil of my computer, and cool it 
in the waters of the list.

I have helpers that come to me when I write.  The spirits of my heros 
and hatreds, my lovers and leavers all gather round, and help in the 
forging.  Indeed, as I write, you can often hear me talking to myself, 
and responding to unspoken replies.  You might think I'm crazy, but I 
wouldn't give them up for the world.

My writing is a carthetic experience.  It is a way for me to remember.  
To feel again the ecstasy of my first time making love, to know again 
the pain of being a seven year old drunk.  A way to remember, and to 
make peace.

Words come easily to my mind.  They flow in and out, faster then my 
mortal hands can type.  I could easily spit out megs of shit in a few 
hours, if I just sat down and typed, but that isn't what I want.  I 
agonize over every word choice, trying to have each one stand alone and 
create a mood with all the others.  Writing fiction for me is the same 
as writing poetry.  And if I can't get something that good, then fuck 
it, it doesn't deserve to be put out until it is that good.

Why do I write?  I write because I want to write.  I write because if I 
didn't, I would probably end up dead.

I write to stay sane.
