Why do you like writing?
I don't like, I love writing; for i can abuse or care for it, (metaphorically speaking.) Also, I live off Pablo Picasso's Motto: "Good artists copy and great artists steal."  I enjoy researching and using out of the norm words such as 
"Hippotomonstrosesquipedalian" (which means: pertaining to a very long word.)

Why do you like writing?
Writing became a passion of mine when I was a kid. Often times, when I found I couldn't express correctly everything going on in my head, it was easier to create it into a poem or a short story. Writing became something I immediately clicked with and something that I always resort back to this day.
