I would connect.

So I've been writing every day while the baby takes her nap. And writing can be very difficult sometimes because you don't know if what you have written is utter shite or not. So I have a quote I have been repeating to myself to keep the doubt at bay: What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

So the doubt came creeping at my doorstep today, and I repeated my mantra: "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" I would write a book. And not just a book -- a masterpiece -- a novel that would touch someone.

I would connect.

And that's when it dawned on me why I write. It's to connect. Other people go to parties or talk on the phone. I write. I write to connect... to feel another.

And now I know why I love to write. It's a lovely reason, don't you think? :)
