Why write?

Why I Write

Someone asked me why I write.

My reply, immediately, was, because that's what I do.

I can't imagine Not Writing.

I have story ideas too numerous to count.

I even have a plan, of sorts. After novels a, b, c, there are d, e, f. Then there will be g, h, i all the way to x, y, z. Then I'll start over like they name hurricanes, alpha, beta ...

Their churning, their demands settled a bit once I gave them each their own folder, their own rough sentence or two plot summary, their own first lines of chapter one. Yet they poke at me ocasionally -- when is my turn?
