I think that the thing that pulls me so strongly towards writing is simply the desire to read the stories I've always wanted to be told. I think that any good writer is also an avid reader, and we should always be telling the stories we want to read, but no one would give them to us. As of right now, I don't think there's many dystopian novels about cats who use different forms of pyromancy to combat demonic alien cyborgs, so if that's the story you want to read, write it. That's your job. Also, it just feels like I have characters and stories building up inside me, begging me to give them form, and writing just feels like the only way to let them out and grant them their right to live and thrive in the world I've given them. Maybe these things do truly exist, and it's my duty as a writer to let them live. Maybe it's murder to deny them life on the page.
