1) I write so I can express myself and my imagination. I am horrible with words and I have issues with English even though it's my first language (I'm a linguist, so yeah.... ) I also have things that I stand for and do not stand for, so I express how I feel through characters and through their situations. I write because it's a talent given to me and I have to honor God with my talent.
2) I am a teacher even though I am still in highschool and my life is very, very stressful with work and sometimes other drama. As a therapy, I do writing. I let out my emotions before I lash out on someone else. Also, ever since I was a kid, I had been interested in writing and art. I have a chance to get my story out there and I am working my best to take it because it could shape my career.
3) Hmm...write because you enjoy it. Not money. If you get paid for it later, then do something good with it. But don't let money be the reason you write. Besides, if you were to write for a writing company, wouldn't you have some restrictions to what you write? Write like you can't be put in a box and write like you can't be replaced. If you end up making money in the end, don't use it for stupid reason. This is what I tell myself.
4) I like allegories, stories with symbolism and meaning, stories with characters I can learn from. I like stories that can either blow my mind or make me say "woah, this writer can write!" I like something that is gripping and it can make me go to tears. I like something to get me pumped, or even something that can slow me down and let me think.
And most of the writers out there I read from write because they have something to say. One I have read from was told to give money to an organization he det sted because he did something perfectly legal and they didn't like it. What he did was he told those he worked for not to pay him. In that time, he wrote not just for a living, but so he could also express himself and what he believed.
