<![CDATA[Final Version]]>I like to write.  It’s not exactly something I can help; I just plain like it.  So when I am asked to describe why I like it – why I write in the first place – it’s a little difficult to know how to answer.  It isn’t difficult because the answer is a tough or complicated one to come up with, but rather because it may seem an overly simplistic answer to most people.  See, I write because I like to write, and I like to write because I am good at it.  “Well duh you’d like to do something you’re good at,” you might say.  And yes, that’s probably true for a lot of things, but writing isn’t just another thing I do simply because I am good at it.  Writing is one of those rare, but somewhat universal abilities that not only am I good at, but also happen to like and one which required a specific process that brought about the realization that this is my skill.  Writing is my “thing.”
