How did you begin writing?

[Todd]

It started out as a love for reading. Then, the love evolved into a desire to create. After that, the desire mutated into a compulsion to write more, write better, and write even more still. It's like an addiction I can't get rid of.

Big thumbs up. I think that describes it pretty damn well.

Yeah, Brandon's comment could almost be the tagline for a writing site. That's the way it tends to go: read, create, compulsion, improve.
