Why I Write

I write becuase I have stories to tell (I've met a lot of 'characters' along the way); I write because each time I connect one word to another, link one thought to the next, I am searching inside myself, figuring out a little bit more about me; I write to learn how I think and feel about things and find what's lurking in the depths of Sasha that just has to get out; I write because I can.
I haven't exactly chosen a profession, as of yet. I am currently applying to copy writing, technical writing, and even sports marketing jobs (the last one combining both of my passions: writing and sports); I am an anomaly---the jock and the artist, as one. This is the last course I need for my degree in Professional Writing. Yesterday, over a preliminary phone interview, a woman from The Ad Group in Los Angeles actually asked me, "So, when are you coming out to California?" Aww, that sounded real nice.

Literacy in all the Write Spaces

Hello!

We will share our collective learning in many ways during summer institute. In many respects information and communication technology will facilitate the sharing. So jump right in and share via the blog!

Please share some general information about yourself, such as, what do you consider the best part of your chosen profession? What makes writing important to you? Why, and in what ways do you write? Can you think of a surprise you found the last time you remembered to "look for literacy in all the write spaces"? You can share anything you like, I just thought these few questions might serve as a jump start.
