About This Quote
I write because I must. It’s not a choice or a pastime, it’s an unyeilding calling and my passion.According to writer, Kate DiCamillo, one of the best ways to understand why she writes is to think of writing as a drug. When you are writing, you are addicted to that feeling of being alive, of being real. You are addicted to the stories that you are telling yourself, of the characters that live in your head and the words they say.
And so when you finish writing, what is left is not just a book but also a feeling. That feeling of having lived an experience and telling everyone else about it so they can feel the same way.
