I often write because I NEED to. I don't necessarily enjoy it per se, but I upvoted dang because I can relate to "an unwritten essay is like an uneaten piece of cake." That writing lives inside me and makes me crazy if I don't let it out. It may not be the most fun I have ever had, but it has a need to happen.

So perhaps enjoyment isn't the write word, but pg is describing a thing akin to a hunger that must be satisfied. Dang doesn't have that impetus. I do. So I write.

Perhaps someday I shall get read as well. ;-)

Same here, many of my diary pages are filled with garbage, just because thoughts make my mind crazy and to overcome with this craziness I write occasionally.
