One of the most common questions I receive as a writer is, “Why do you like to write?” Over the past ten years, writing has been something I do as a way to escape the daily grind of life. Although I enjoy the entertainment that comes from watching a good movie or reading a great book, nothing compares to the mental vacation I take when getting lost in a story that I am writing. It’s a feeling that is difficult to describe, but I’ll try anyway!
For me, it begins when I slide the headphones on and hit play on the MP3 player. I open up my laptop and reread the last few paragraphs of my current work. I am then sent into a world that could be best described as an interactive movie. It’s a place that is driven by my imagination and has almost limitless potential. It’s a place where I have complete control, although sometimes it feels as though I have none at all. On any given day, I find myself laughing out loud over something a character has said, getting angry over the way a character has hurt someone else, or even crying over a great tragedy or love lost. Each character and place that I write about live inside my imagination, but they have the power to move me as if they were real. This place that I go to every time I write is the reason why I love to write. When people ask me why I write, I often wonder, “Why doesn’t everyone write?”

Insignificant Moments
Book Blurb:
For twenty-seven-year-old Jaye Logan, life has been full of neglected opportunities and missed chances. He’s had an incredibly unadventurous career as an assistant librarian and only one serious girlfriend. But on the day he decides to literally climb a mountain and seek something better in life, something better finds him instead.That glorious day, Jaye rescues a beautiful young woman and realizes he’s just met the girl of his dreams. In the turmoil surrounding her rescue, though, he doesn’t even ask her name. She slips through his fingers—another casualty of his too cautious life. Reeling from disappointment, Jaye writes a simple yet heartfelt e-mail about the key to life and sends it winging into the ether.
When that same inspirational e-mail returns to his inbox three years later—after impacting people around the world—Jaye is at another crucial intersection in life. The e-mail reminds him of what he lost, and he embarks on a life-changing journey to find it again, a journey full of adventure, mystery … and maybe even love.
In the tradition of Nicholas Sparks, Insignificant Moments speaks to the profound impact a single moment can have on our lives and in our hearts.

Insignificant Moments sounds like a lovely story. I have a response for Jeremy’s question; there are those who do write and don’t get published, those who have the ability to write, but don’t have time to, and of course those who find writing just doesn’t appeal to their sensation seeking needs.
I myself often wonder, how so many wonderful authors can write while listening to music, or over the background noise of a television. I’ve heard it mentioned authors, like artists, find it brings inspiration.
In my case, to enjoy a book, or be fully immersed in a novel-I require total…absolute, silence. When I read, it’s much like your comment re: an interactive movie. As the story unfolds, I can envision the plot play out, much like-watching a movie playing. And who likes people talking, or noise while movie watching? Nicely written post, btw.
