Why I write...
It's funny that you should ask this question at this time in my life. I often wonder why I write too. I use to believe it was because I couldn't not write. But I've found out that's not entirely true. Nor is the fact that I think I can write better than anyone else either. There are just too many great authors out there to lie to myself on that score.
So why do I write? Well, I suppose my writting in part is a way of dealing with post partem depression, the cramps, PMS, arguements with my significant other, seduction of my significant other, or just the on going relationship between us that has its highs and lows. It's no surprise that I know how sexy I look, or how turned on both men, and women become in my presence. But I've always believed that I'm more than just a body magnet set on high heat bent over a stool, or chair. I, like any woman, am so much more than just a sexual object to use, and cast aside for the next model to come along by any male driven by testosterone overload. However, I write under the "What if," mentality, and that leaves all doors open to me to write about, including my own sexual, mental fantasies. And that leaves a lot for me to write about.
The hardest part of writing for me has always been some of the feedback that I get here, and elsewhere from people who believe my stories are true to life, and have actually lived out what I wrote as a sexual fantasy. They just don't realize that I am only a Dirty Slut in my mind, and not in my reality. I only picked the pen name Dirty Slut because it coincides with my real initials. But I digress...
So I guess you could say that I also write because so many people really do enjoy my work. And yes there is that vicarious self centered feeling one gets from a lot of feedback when people say that they have become fans of my stories, and say:
"I Can't wait to read your next story. Please let me know when you post it."
But there is also that alluding, alluring precept that one day we just might write something GREAT that keeps me pounding at the keyboards like everyong else here. We draw pictures, and mental movies with our choices of words, and like Harry Potter cast our spells of wizardly words upon a growing public that wishes to be seduced by our verbosity.

Frustration. I write because he won't let me drill him. And I do so want to see him leak... 
But seriously, I write because I believe in a common essence. I believe my life and anyone else's is a multifaceted experience that shines when reflected in another—whether in anger, sadness, joy, love or anything you can imagine. I don't care where you come from, your age, your sexual orientation or your social status. You are kin. The idea is just too huge to contain. I have to write it out.

And ... I write because I love to share and (hopefully) leave a lasting impression.
I write for myself, purely and totally. There's a never-ending narrative voice running through my head, and if it doesn't find a way out, it gets louder and louder, demanding more and more attention until I cannot concentrate on anything else.
I write to create. Putting pen to paper breathes life into the characters, calls their worlds into being, and makes real their words and actions.
I write to explore. All the "what if"s, "should've done"s, and "might have been"s get answered on the screen. The darker, more visceral side of life opens itself on the page.
For me, the question isn't: why write? I feel compelled to do that. Rather, the question becomes: why share what we've written?
*does the first post/no longer a board virgin dance*
