14 reasons why we write

When we started Stuff Writers Like, one of the most frequent comments we got is, “All writers are different, so we obviously like different stuff.”

To which we replied, “I know! Isn’t it great?”

As writers, we have a lot in common. And while we are individuals with our unique preferences and pet peeves, we also tend to follow and share some of the sames kinds of things online—stuff about writing, for writers, by writers.

So when we saw Stenhouse Publishers created a virtual patchwork quit of reasons why we write, it resonated with us, because it creates the perfect visual.

Stuff Writers Like is a patchwork quilt: a place where all writers, with unique likes and dislikes, come together to become something larger, warmer, more beautiful than themselves.

Hi! The staff here at Stuff Writers Like posted this nifty piece of content. We didn't give it a byline, because, well, maybe we didn't write it. But we do like it. Please allow us to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. Stuff Writers Like is powered by a motley crew of writers, misfits and grammar deviants. They say you have to know the rules before you can break them. Or as Mark Twain said, "Get your facts first then you may distort them as you please." Stop by our About page and consider joining us. We don't bite—unless nibbling counts.
