Personally the reason I write is because I need too . Since I was a kid I was always better at observing people than I was at interacting with them. I found social situations challenging and never really fit in anywhere. Stories were a way for me to escape even at a young age, to create a world I felt comfortable living in if only for a little while because it was a world I understood where I knew the people who occupied this place as well as I knew myself.

There is a certain comfort in this profession. Knowing that what you produce has never been done by anyone else before is tantalising. Generating an idea and seeing it come to life on the page is an incredible experience and extremely satisfying.

Don't get me wrong writing a script or book can be one of the most liberating, rewarding experiences of your life and one of the most stressful things you will ever undertake. Seeing what's inside your own mind reflected back at you on paper can be daunting nevertheless allowing someone else to take a peek into your mental pathways. You will have to grow a thick skin, learn to love the writers block and know what you are doing this for in order to create your best work. If you want to do this you will find a way to keep your ideas flowing. Revel in the time you get to write because it is yours. So sit back, relax and enjoy the process.
