we write characters to overcome the things that we cannot.
to show us a way that it is possible to succeed.

we write characters to weep for us when we cannot
in a strange vicarious catharsis of the soul.

we write characters to travel the world and search for meaning
because we trap ourselves in responsibilities and the finite limits of this world.

we write characters to listen to our inner thoughts
which would be madness seething in anyone else's ears.

we write because it expands who we might be. to explore the boundaries of who we are as people, as individuals, as friends and lovers or heroines.

we write because we can.
