So many wonderful reasons to write. I love “I write to add enjoyment to my life.” If only all of our students would find this same enjoyment.

Love your list! My favorites: “I write to tell my stories,” and “I write to show love.”

I write to show love. Oh, I love that. I think I write Slice of Life Stories for the same reason.
