Share This Resource Why do you write? It’s a deceptively simple question that can unravel or resurrect your creative life. In this deeply personal episode, Brad Reed invites listeners into an honest exploration of the emotional and practical reasons that drive us to tell stories. From past failures turning passion into obligation to reclaiming joy in the writing process, this episode offers a powerful reframing of the writer’s journey. Brad reflects on how writing can lose its spark when overshadowed by dreams of publishing and visibility, and how the truest stories are often the ones we write for no one but ourselves. He introduces the idea of “craft-based writing,” a mindset that prioritizes voice, honesty, and emotional resonance over formula and trends. Key takeaways include: Why passion-driven writing is more sustainable than outcome-focused writingHow market obsession can kill your creativityThe three core elements that suffer when publishing becomes your focusThe difference between writing as art and writing as contentA practical writing challenge that rekindles your love of the process This episode is a must-listen for any writer feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure why they’re writing at all. If you’re ready to rediscover the joy of storytelling and reconnect with your purpose, this episode will guide you back to your center. Formatted and Edited Transcript Today, we’re exploring a question that a lot of writers don’t give enough thought to: Why do I write? Knowing the answer can change everything about your writing. Let’s dive in. OK, so why do you write? I want you to actually attempt to answer that question right now. You can even pause the podcast for a few minutes if you need to and give it some thought. Why do you write? All right, so hopefully you paused and took some time to think about that. You may have come up with some answers, like many other writers do: answers like to make some money and build a writing career, or maybe to process trauma, to feel power in a world where I don’t often feel powerful. Maybe to get followers and subscribers on social media. Maybe to just connect with somebody, even if that’s only imaginatively through your story. A lot of writers say things like, Because I have to write. There’s something inside me that just drives me to write. I have to write. “To create beauty” is another reason writers often give. Maybe it’s to impress others or gain recognition; sometimes that’s a reason a little bit under the surface that we don’t really pay that much attention to, but it’s there. Maybe it’s to leave something behind in this world, to make your mark by leaving your writing, your thoughts behind. Maybe it’s to make sense of the chaos of this world, and there’s plenty of that to go around right now. Maybe it’s to say what you couldn’t feel like you could say out loud. You can say it through writing. Maybe it’s just to prove to yourself that you could do it: I could write a book. Maybe your answer is, I don’t know. For a lot of writers, that actually is their answer: I’ve never really thought about it. I’m not sure I know why I write. Or maybe it’s a mix of a whole bunch of different things all mashed together that drives you to the keyboard or the pen. So if you’re feeling bold, I would love for you to share your reason in the comments below. I’d love to see what your thoughts are there, what you came up with. That’s what we’re going to explore today: this big, overarching question: Why do I write? And we’re going to find out why the answer to that is so powerful in our writing lives.
