Why I Write

I read a lot.  I love to get wrapped up in a story.  I once read a seven-hundred page book in one sitting, and it's this love for stories that inspires me to write.  I want to create a world that can suck people in so that as soon as they leave all they want to do is go back.  I want to make people laugh out loud, I want to make them happy, I want to make them wonder about issues in society.  I want to keep readers up to two in the morning, even though they know they'll regret it later.  I want to entertain people.  Most importantly, I want to inspire readers like the authors I read inspire me.
