National Day on Writing - Why Do You Write?

I haven't written a blog post in eons . . . I blame it on vacation, earthquake aftermath and the fact that I actually have been doing a lot of writing and transcribing of old writing.  More about that another day though. 

This is just a brief post to celebrate the National Day on Writing.  I wouldn't have known it was the National Day on Writing if I hadn't received an e-mail from the delicious She Writes website (a feast of inspiration, information and community for women writers).  But now that I have been made aware, I'm taking up their invitation to answer the question, "Why do you write?" in 140 characters or less.  Surpisingly, my answer came quickly and concisely:

I write to make sense of the seen, shine light on the unseen, and breathe life into the imagined.

So why do you write?
