Thursday Thirteen
April 12th, 2007

Since I’ve got my entire body in the writing cave at the moment (literally and figuratively), I thought today’s post would be about WHY I write.

Thirteen Reasons Why I Write

1. The voices in my head will NOT shut up.
2. If I don’t write, my imagination backs up like a toilet and then you don’t even want to know what happens.
3. I can type really fast.
4. My third grade teacher, Mrs. Freudenberg, said I wrote lovely poetry.
5. I’ve made it my mission to repopulate the western romance shelves. Linda Lael Miller needs company.
6. What other job would you get paid to make stuff up?
7. I can make men do whatever I tell them too.
8. I get to schmooze with romance novel cover models (the only time in my life that’s gonna happen).
9. I can remake history with only my mind. Sounds like a superpower.
10. It would be a shame to waste the B.F.A. in writing.
11. I get to use pen inside a book and not get yelled at.
12. I talk to people from around the world (literally) on a daily basis. That means I’ll have somewhere to stay when I go travel.
13. I absolutely love to write. There is no better job in the world to me.
