Creative Writing 2012-01-20  Kirstin Winrich Why I Write           I write for the sake of happiness.  Being able to write down my feelings or thoughts is much easier than speaking them to someone.  I feel like when I write them down, I don’t have someone to judge me; I can take the words back or erase them if that’s not exactly what I meant.  Writing just comes naturally to me; I can sit down for one hour and have a whole story written based off of a small idea.  I guess writing is just easier to do when it comes naturally.  I don’t have to think too much about it to be able to create a masterpiece in my eyes.  I also like to go back into my writing and read exactly what I wrote; you can’t necessarily do that when you speak.  Writing makes me relax and is a safe place for me to let my true personality show.
