In my opinion, writing is wonderful. For me, it takes all of the stress off of my shoulders and it makes me happy. Some of the reasons why people write (The reasons came from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell):

1. To express ourselves
2. Because we like the sound of our own voices
3. To explore new worlds
4. To explore old worlds
5. To set ourselves free
6. To make sense of ourselves
7. To show people what it’s like in our heads
8. To make people laugh, to get their attention
9. To stop hearing the voices in our heads
10. To stop being anything or anywhere at all
11. To leave our mark
12. To create something that will outlive us
13. To share something true
14. To disappear
15. To release stress

Those are reasons why people write. The most popular writing site is Wattpad, and that’s what millions of people use to write and read stories, so I assure you that it’s safe. There you can read stories from every genre, write stories, and share ideas. There’s Paranormal, Fanfiction, Poetry, General Fiction, Romance, and any genre you can think of, which is where Wattpad gets it’s description, “Discover a world of unlimited stories.”

Some of the students at iUniversity Prep write fanfiction. Fanfiction is: fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, movie, book, etc. One of the things that I enjoy about fan fiction is that if you read a series, almost always someone has continued the series!

If you would like to know more about Wattpad, you can read my article, which is in the feature section of iHoot! Happy reading and writing!
