Why Do We Write?

To make sense of the world, to connect, to escape, to entertain—sometimes just because we have to. In this article, we explore the deep-seated urge to tell stories, the struggles and joys of writing, and how understanding our why can keep us going when the words won’t flow. Featuring insights from fellow writers, reflections on the primal power of storytelling, and exercises to help you define your own creative purpose.
