		<description>Many authors lament the struggle and torment of writing. Me? I like writing. Sure, you have to take a break from time to time or it gets to be too much. But it&#039;s a great way to make a living. It beats typing other people&#039;s words for a living (which I have done), or washing dishes (which I also have done). 
Thanks for a great article!

		<description>Rosa - your explanation sounded pretty eloquent to me!

Actually I know you have written some beautiful material on why you write, and I might just point readers to some of it one of these days...

		<description>Why do I write? That is somewhat like asking why I breathe; just can&#039;t stop, and life as I have come to know it would be over without it!

However Joanna, you describe it so much more eloquently!

		<description>Nadiah, thanks for your feedback.  I found it an interesting post to research and write too - in fact I could have kept going a lot longer!  But figured it would be better to have it as a theme that we could come back to...

Best wishes

		<description>Hi Robert - glad you like it.  It&#039;s fun seeing the power of your own words, isnt&#039; it?

I&#039;m reminded I must go and get a copy of the Age of Conversation.  I tried last week when you mentioned it but the publishing site was getting some maintenance - must go back later today.

		<description>Hey, Joanna, can I get that on a plaque? :-D

Yeah, I like that - connections. It&#039;s why I write at MZM. In fact, it&#039;s the theme of my contribution to the Age of Conversation book: &quot;Bridges&quot;.
