What motivates you...

[Tenacity]

TBH, i'm not really sure. I just like to write. I write about everything... I wrote bio's and histories for my WoW characters despite the fact that nobody ever RP'd in that game (at least, not on my server). I guess I just like to compile my ideas into a well written story, it's a form of art - and most artists will say that they dont really have a reason for doing their art, they just do it because... it's enjoyable.

When I write my stories, I'm not just putting words on paper (or a computer screen) - you could say I almost go into a trance, I envision the world I'm writing about, like I'm in it, I am my characters and their enemies, I write as if it's actually happening. It's relaxing to do, or exciting in some cases - like when I write about a battle or dramatic event, I see it as it happens, I feel what the characters feel, when I write about a character being scared or courageous I'm sharing those emotions as I type.

I've often thought about becoming an author, but I have a bad habit of never being able to finish a story, I always want to add more or I get stuck and just cant envision where things should go from one point onward. I've written hundreds of short stories about dozens of different games and genres, but I've never really 'finished' any of them.
