Why do I Write?

Why do I write? My fellow blogger Corey at Insane Literature wrote a similar post on the subject and I want to bounce ideas off of that topic.
I enjoy writing because you basically get to play God in a sense. You create all of these crazy characters who have amazing personalities and put them a in a world of your creation. When writing you get to put your world into someone else's head by means of words. This is why I love it although perfecting your craft is a difficult process. You must create your sentences perfectly so when your reader is reading your piece they aren't focusing on the writing, or writer errors, they are fully immersed into your dream world you have written the pathway to.
You also get to create mythical creatures, dimensions, situations, and personalities that people learn to love. These are my favorite reasons to read also. But readers tend to eat this stuff up. Your goal is to create a character with a personality that readers can relate and then connect on an emotional level with. These emotional connections are what lead readers to cry when Tris killed herself at the end of Allegiant, when Peeta went mad in the Hunger Games, when Dumbledore dies in Harry Potter, and so on.
 Writing is how us humans get to express our feelings, emotions, opinions, imaginations, to each other. Whether it's nonfiction or fictional narrative writing, us humans love to communicate and have found a way to do so since the beginning of time. Since a calming pastime that invigorates the mind and allows us to as I have said, express our imagination through words on a page.
But writing stems from reading and in order to love one, one must love the other. The reasons for loving both are one and the same. You love to story-tell and to read those stories, to be able to day-dream and explore that imagination of yours, and finally to be able to immerse yourself into that day-dream induced story. These are the reasons I love to write and I hope this has inspired some of you to explore your imagination and hopefully find further inspiration there.
