I thought you gave a honest approach to your writing. You began with a question, ending your work with the answer. In between, you gave reasons for writing and my condolence for your son's death. I believe your essay has merit and wish you the best in the contest.

This essay, Just Because, sounds a lot like Dr. Ricky. If not, I apologize. I think that writing about your son has been life-saving for you indeed. I'm sure you get a mixed bag of reviews, but Fanstory seems to be a great outlet for strong feelings.

    Thank you. Sorry, it is not Dr. Ricky who wrote this. We both lost sons so our past experienes are similiar. Hugs to you.

Unless your desire is to be a paid author your thought... If I have an answer at all, it will be that I enjoy writing and do it for fun. Says it all for me as well. ..................................................

Strongly agree with your writing for your own enjoyment position. That is what I have always said, though I am a long time freelance Writer by trade.

Writing is also very cathargic, and helpful, in the worst times.

Something about expressing one's inner self when nothing else can.

Why I Write is a question that would no doubt receive many different answers because writers have their own personal reason why they write. And your own reason is simply because it is fun to write. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

    Thank you. If one only writes for a paycheck or to compete it would take all the joy out of writing. Hugs to you.

A thoughtful discussion of reasons to write. We each have our own. The flow is good. The language is conversational and warm. I do not see any particular errors.

I have no suggestions. A good read.

"Like coffee or cats" - that's funny! And I'm so glad that you can release all that grief that you kept inside for so long by writing and sharing. And it's a nurturing community here. So thank you for sharing your writing! Best wishes in the contest!

Hello Writer, what more reason do you need for writing but that you enjoy it? The fact that others can enjoy it too is very satisfying as well. In the year since I've been on here I've learned so many interesting things, and like you, I've made some friends, who, though we will probably never meet, are dear to me. Thanks for sharing this. Good luck in the contest.

Have a blessed evening.
Tom

I enjoyed reading your essay. You did a nice job with the prompt. I think it's an interesting question to ask yourself, why do I write? I'ill have to ponder that one. I appreciate your honest writing as it speaks to your character.
