I'm like an X-Files monster with an oddly specific diet - my true nutrition depends on the concoction and arrangement of words in accordance to an inner vision.
Basically, it's food to me. I need to write. There's a million and one stories in me that are bursting to get out, and I love the infinite variety of the art form. It doesn't hurt that it's the most entertaining thing since eating cheesecake and watching Stranger Things, but it goes deeper than fun.
Fun was the initial impetus, but I've come to understand the nature of the necessity. In between acting and music, I'm going to be an author - if only to give my imagination flesh and let some people feel good about reading it. I want to perfectly capture the different aspects of life, and that's a pretty great challenge. And the sheer thrill of writing the ideal sentence approaches euphoria.
Inexplicable fanciness aside, being a good writer is kinda for the sake of spiritual satisfaction. But I do sort of want people to be in agreement that I'm okay at it. When I'm okay at it, anyway.
