Triggers for writing 1

Why do writers write?

There is no one reason why people write. Everyone has a different trigger. It's too easy to say that so-and-so writes because they are good at English. Not everybody who's good at English is a writer. One thing is certain, however; everyone who writes has a trigger.

Examples

A reporter writes to inform the public about news; they want to tell people about important, and sometimes unimportant, events. They may have been brought up in a home where news was discussed.

Some people write because they have a message that they want the world to know about.

Travellers write in journals and diaries to remind them of where they have been and what they've seen. Some people have wonderful imaginations and create swirling images for others to escape into.

Some people write to make others laugh.
