There are lots of reasons to write but my main one is to come up with an idea that makes you go 'Holy F**k! Where did that come from?!' you could be just doing the dishes or a spreadsheet at work whilst idly considering a plot or character or device and out of nowhere this idea just appears fully formed as if its always been there. Philip K Dick, of 'Bladerunner' fame said ideas were sent via an information rich pink laser beam directly to his brain.
Although he was on a jaw dropping amount of drugs at the time it does sometimes feel like that. As if someone has serupticiously implanted a box fresh idea in your head. I know its the interplay between the concious/unconcious parts of your brain part of me want to belive Mr Dick.
Anyways, a new idea to add to project Y that turns a run-of-the-mill story into a staggering achievment of human endeavour. Not quite but you get the idea.
