Students: Tell us when, how and why you write. What does writing do for you? How has it played a role in your life?
Use this space as a rough draft of your answer, then consider posting a fuller essay on the Figment, where, as of now, more than 200 young people have contributed.
Or, if you’re on Twitter, boil your thoughts down to a short message and add it with the hashtag #whyIwrite so that your reason can become a part of the public record.
