Why do you write?

Just about everyone tells me they have a book in them but it's rare for most to get beyond that point. Anyone who completes a whole manuscript should pat themselves on the back. Whether it's the next great American novel or "just" a book, the fact that someone gets that far is noteworthy.
Why do we write? For me, it's something I have to do. I see the world as a writer. I find myself narrating my life to myself sometimes. Maybe that's a form of insanity. But I tried not writing and wasn't happy. I have to write. Some days it may just be a blog entry but at least it's something.
And I read. Every day. Some books [ like The Help] make me wish I was a better writer. It certainly gave me the drive to want to be better. To try harder. And to get back at the keyboard and write more.

My Nook


I am in love with my Nook. I have already downloaded and read several books on it plus I can read my Word documents [after converting them to PDF] as well. It's fun and convenient. I had no problem adjusting to the screen or the page-turning button. And this will be great for anyone who travels. Imagine carrying up to 1500 books with you and they only weigh a few ounces. Whether your preference is Nook, Kindle, Sony, or whatever, I highly recommend this new way of reading.
Will it replace paper pages and covers? No, I doubt it but it's another option.
