Being a writer is the most empowering thing I can possibly be. Empty notebooks excite me. I want to fill them immediately with every thought that tickles at my mind. A lot of people find that funny. They don't see the appeal.

There's a lot more to writing than just putting text on a paper, and they don't understand that.

As a writer, I write not only for an audience, but for myself. I have so many ideas running through my skull that it's a release for me to write them down. I write when I'm happy, mad, sad — basically, I write all the time.

To me, one of the most refreshing achievements is having page after page full of my very own words. That alone is extremely satisfying, but then sharing it with others is a whole different feeling.

When I write, I want to move people, I want them to hear me vividly, and I want to touch them emotionally, in a way that leaves them speechless. What I do is an art form.

Writers feel everything very deeply, and we have the ability to put it all down on paper in a way that intrigues others and makes them keep reading. Being the emotion-filled people that we are, we find writing to be an escape.

The things you can write about are infinite, the possibilities endless and the outcomes beautiful.

So we indulge ourselves, never getting tired of what we do, never feeling forced to do it. We crave it. A writer's life truly revolves around writing, and that is what makes us happiest.

Writing is a gift. We can paint a picture using words, and we can describe things in such a way that readers can even remember a certain smell. What we do is amazing, and having the ability and opportunity to do it is prodigious.

The description we put into our pieces, whether it be describing the veins on a leaf or the fancy words that we use, help the readers see what we see. And majority of the time, we excel at it.

We put our hearts into our work, and that is what makes an immense difference.

As writers, we want people to read our writing. We want to leave our mark. In a world of dying print, writers cling to their notebooks and continue sharing their work, hoping to become recognized, but still being content with writing for the sole purpose of maintaining their sanity.

I am proud to say that I am a writer with an endless imagination, the smoothest flow of words and the deepest passion.

I will write until I die, and even then, my words will live on after I have left this world.
