Don't close the book, just turn the page

Why do I write? When I was in Jr. High I use to be on the school the newspaper, and I was actually some what go at it. And then after Jr. High, I didn't really write much. Then in high school, I took Journalism again, and wrote for the school newspaper. Thats when I decided I wanted to be a writer. My orginal plan was to go to the University of Arizona and get a degree in journalism. By the end my first and only year there, I realized the type of writing I liked was not the type of writing my degree would bring me. But that doesn't really answer why I like to write. I like to write because it helps me to release my thoughts from head. And I don't have to stand face to face some one, and talk to them, some times that just scares the hell out of me. ( kind of silly I know). Writing frees me in my own little way.
