I have boxes &amp;amp; computer files filled with journals (and also sketches). Finally, I realized my writing was turned inward and decided to blog to help turn my writing outward. About 8 years ago, I began blogging at Heirs In Hope (http://heirsinhope.blogspot.com). Now, I blog mostly about the book I&amp;#39;m writing, Loved As If (http://lovedasif.com/) and post excerpts, related articles, etc. I used the A to Z Challenge to create momentum and post everyday. Now that it&amp;#39;s over, I post several times per week and try to post each day if possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I write because I love stories and love telling stories. It&amp;#39;s the same reason I read. I also love the puzzle of humanity: A very good man can also do some very stupid things, things which lead to destruction. A very bad man can do something heroic, self-sacrificing. Human beings are amazingly rich and complex. Writing expresses who we are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drusilla&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS - I&amp;#39;d love to be a guest blogger.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7148510738485459197/7141482195725647210/comments/default/1467133125333354618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7148510738485459197/7141482195725647210/comments/default/1467133125333354618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2014/05/why-do-you-write-atozchallenge.html?showComment=1400551532100#c1467133125333354618' title=''/><author><name>Unknown</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/09773449834173767180</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2014/05/why-do-you-write-atozchallenge.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-7141482195725647210' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7148510738485459197/posts/default/7141482195725647210' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-367308728"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="May 20, 2014 at 2:05 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-260288546379367138</id><published>2014-05-19T08:21:12.523+00:00</published><updated>2014-05-19T08:21:12.523+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Like breathing - so beautifully put!

When we moved to the US, I kept in touch with my friends via letters for years.  Of course, I wrote weekly letters to my grandparents.  It was touching to be given a special box full of those saved letters when they died.&lt;br /&gt;I blog to practice writing, and for the connections I make with other bloggers.  I love the A-Z and have been a co-host for three years now.  It&amp;#39;s a prime opportunity to make new friends and connections outside one&amp;#39;s usual social circle.  I highly recommend it to every blogger.&lt;br /&gt;Right now we&amp;#39;re on our Road Trip, which means we are meandering about the long list, visiting those blogs we missed during the craziness of April.
