Just Because
I write just because it's fun52 total reviews
Comment from Spitfire
Writing non-fictional stories has helped me come to terms with events that overwhelmed me. It works as therapy. While writing I also analyze my feelings, and if don't, some of the more astute reviewers do. Let me offer my condolences on the loss of your son. I can't imagine dealing with such a tragedy.

Thank you. It was a very long time ago and, while one can never forget, I have learned to live with it and move forward. Theo only thing one can do i go forward or not. Hugs to you.

Your story was well written. Your story was told with clarity. I enjoyed reading your account of why you write. Sometimes just enjoying writing is a good reason. Nice story.

Comment from John Ciarmello
This is a great entry. You didn't come up with a definitive answer to the question which in itself is quite refreshing. I believe writing should be everyday, but everyday day is different so should the writing reflect.

Thank you. I can't think of any one answer other than just because. I don't really have a reason, I just write or don't, however the mood hits me. Hugs to you.

Dear Mystery Writer,
I am so, so, soooo sorry. No one should have to go through that kind of pain. Bless you!
To tell the truth, when I read about your son's death and suicide attempt, I thought I knew immediately who was writing. A dear friend here has gone through much the same thing. Crazy! I hope you know her and communicate with her??? Barb H. Here's the cut-and-paste link to her portfolio. I can only imagine what you two have in common. Wow.

Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest! And, for sure, KEEP WRITING!

Thank you. I know I'm not the only person in this world who has suffered tragic loss of some kind. It's never easy for any one of us. I will check your friend out. Hugs to you.
Comment from Terry Broxson
I do like your story. It is sad to learn of your son's death. Finding solace is a good thing for you and those who read your work. We have a bit in common as I started FanStory at 75. If I ever knew grammar and punctuation rules I clearly forgot. But I found a software program, Grammarly, that while not perfect, makes me look sooo much better! Good job. Terry.

Thank you. Yep, I use Grammarly too. I find it very helpful if I'm not quite sure of some punctuation or phrase. It really helps. Hugs to you

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. Yes, why we write is different for each person. I enjoyed reading your entry. Often when we write about a difficult time in our lives it helps others.

This is very written, and based on how you describe your early work (mine was horrible too.) you have improved your skill and grammar a great deal. The more you do a thing, the better you become. Good work on explaining the inner reason you write too.
Good luck in the contest. Good job.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
You have a great story. You explain the reason why you write. You have mentioned few things about what you write. And this site helps with
correction. Thank you for sharing.

It sounds like you have found plenty of reasons to write since discovering FanStory. You enjoyed telling stories, and now you write them. But I am not sure what you are telling us at the end of your second to last paragraph: "it's simply a fun place to be." Keep on writing and keep on sharing.

I really like this story. It has a nice flow to it as you tell your story. I find myself sharing in your feelings about writing and why we do it. I think you're grammar is pretty good here. Keep on writing...
