Why I Write

I have been wondering why do I want to write as we discuss the various papers in class and evaluate the writing of the students.  I wonder why do I want to write? I purposefully took these classes to show me how writing is being taught, but now my understanding of this writing discourse is fun and hated almost at the same time.  I generally write for myself as the outlet to unwind myself and even look back and see where I really am in that space in my life.  I dont like writing to be approved of or overly corrected, but as a class I thought it to be a guide of where the "me" is in all of this.  I know I have to write for other venues, people, events, and social outlets and this is my wonder.....sorry not sure where I was going with this point.
