WHY WE WRITE To organize our thoughts To remember (list and summary) To share experiences across generations to express ourselves To brainstorm ideas before we begin writing ( all genres) 'TO ENTERTAIN' For pleasure For enjoyment To communicate our feelings and thoughts to others (audience) To change the world To inform ourselves and others Because we have to Because we don't have to For advocacy To persuade others To make people laugh and smile, sometimes as a means to forget personal despair, depression and unhappiness. To inspire (ourselves and others!) It's a process that helps us sharpen and develop our ideas To communicate expertise and knowledge To inform and explain To instruct/guide (manual, etc.) To share (as a piece of evidence) To share new information/insight to reflect To reach out and connect with others humanity To threaten To keep in touch through email, letters, texting to retell important moments in our lives (autobiographies) To communicate with others across the world To convince readers To script/screenwrite a story to use new words -To vent - For others' enjoyment - To tell our side of a story To reflect on lessons as a teacher To stimulate/titillate our most secret desires (Shades of Grey) broaden our skills To connect so we have something to assess to earn a living To connect to our communities To make money We write so then others could read To stay in touch with others To conceal (secret notes, messages) To compare To compete/win To hurt to tell someone you love them or to day good bye.... Dear John To express our feeling to others because we are chicken to talk openly about an issue to get better at writing To safely share our secrets To document change To be able to mock someone or something To share one's experience of humanity
