Reasons I Write
Editing, the disconnect and because I trust myself
Reasons I Write:
The rhythm
Feeling heard
Synonyms
Editing
World creation
Controlling every single detail
The click of the keys
The slide of the cursor
Sentence structure
Romance
Waiting for feedback
Loathing the feedback…
…relishing the feedback
The final read
Punctuation
Shaping, and shaping, and shaping the narrative
Having sole knowledge of the ending, if only for a brief time.
A finished work
The gnawing to be understood
Scribbling down a wandering thought
Typing an idea in Notes
Characters
The quiet of the morning
To point to
The connection
The disconnect
The mental release
To give a place
Allowing the story to be told
Centering, giving a spotlight
I read. A lot.
Saying, “Here, here’s my heart.”
Leaving a record, creating a home
Guaranteed time alone…
…whether I like it or not.
Space to share
Space to create
Nothing is wrong
To cup
The meadow, the open field
Poetry
Teaching My Mother to Give Birth
Warsan Shire
The pull
Taking a peek
Daring to adventure
Perspective
Writing in
Writing out
Empathy
To visualize
To make concrete
The nakedness
Being influenced
Confidence
To leave behind
For the love of language
Because I trust myself
Because I trust I have the words
