Sometimes I don't even know why I write stuff...but it's probably mostly because of "the urge to write" and get things "off my chest" or "out of my system" .....

Other times it's like others have said....being unsatisfied with a lot of the media out there - personally, as a female, I feel it's even harder to find stuff that I can actually enjoy and care about...it's not that I can't ever enjoy stuff that a male obviously made or wrote but there doesn't seem to be enough stuff out there created by women or it's hard for me to find when I'm not specifically hunting for it...(you know what I mean? does that make any sense?)

I got into wanting to make games from being awed and inspired by other people's games, many games are too hard or more for guys than they are for girls....it's a shame that they don't import more variety (especially from Japan since they have such large variety of games) over here to / in the states.

True, we got Katamari Damancy (sp.?) and other games but there's still so many games out there like Giftpia and the Angelique series that are probably never going to be translated and come to America and other places....

I kinda feel the same way about my writing - what good books that are out there inspire me to want to try and write my own.
