[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3688674, member: 5391"] ricco, here is a post I made on the old IMDb forum in response to the question 'why do you write?' [B]As for why I write, I like to tell stories and my speech is a bit hard to understand sometimes, and I'm not used to talking for long long periods so I write. Right now, I have one novel published on kindle, ([I]The Pale Horse[/I]), and one other has the rough draft done and is being proofread and various other corrections are being made, and I am starting a third novel. I am jotting down ideas for other novels as I think of them. Stephen King, in his novel, [I]Salem's Lot[/I], quoted another author who said that 'a novel is a confession to everything by a man who has done nothing'. Very apt in my case. When I read a good novel but especially when I write one, I am actually living the adventures that I never had, but sometimes wish that I did. What this is saying is that a novel serves as wish-fulfilment on the parts of both the writer and the reader. There is much truth to this. In my dull, humdrum life, it is a chance to escape, in my imagination if nowhere else, the sometimes excruciating sameness of my existence.[/B] The board was from the 1994 ABC miniseries The Stand, now on moviechat.org [/QUOTE]
