January 7 - Write About Writing

This prompt is meta. I dig it.

Write about why you want to write.

I don’t want to write. It’s a necessity. It’s something that comes almost as naturally as breathing and it feels almost almost as imperative to my survival. I have to write in order to stay sane. This has proven to be true many times in my life—whether it's when I'm coming down off meth or longs days in rehab or late nights worrying my baby was okay in utero.
