Here they are:

1.  Because you love other writers — they’re friendly, supportive, and just generally nice people.

2.  Writing is an excuse to hide out with your computer for hours or even days at a time.

3.  Saying you’re a writer makes you seem more interesting than if you just say you’re retired….or you watch television and crochet…or you’re an accountant.

5.  Getting published is a huge kick–huge enough to warrant a happy dance in public (although so far I’ve only done that in the privacy of my own home).
