		<description>Lori, thanks for sharing why you write. Writing is the only thing I can do creatively and I&#039;m a lefty. Sad, eh?

Terresa, what a fabulous reason for writing. We all need a break from the daily chores that make life feel too automated. I try to do that by living in the moment with my family and my life.</description>

		<description>I write because at the end of all I do, cleaning white chipped counters, washing the twentieth fork, and picking up the last bread crust tossed to the tile floor in my suburban America, I want to know there is something of me left: a thought, a mind, a will.

And that&#039;s just part of the story. :)

I like how you say that writing lets you be part of the conversation.  And the listening part, yes.  

Great post!

		<description>Great article, Meryl. :) And a damn good reason for loving writing. Is that why you became a writer, or have you always had the love of the written word?

I write because there&#039;s just so much STUFF going on in my head. I have things I want to say or things I want to create! But I love communicating. I love drawing people in with my writing and building relationships. Weird, isn&#039;t it?</description>
