Simple, sweet, and to the point...

Complete this sentence fragment:
I write because
Then settle down and complicate it.

Go ahead, expound on it, impound it, even plain olde pound on it, but make your point!

Then do it again.  Yes, take that same fragment, and finish it another way.

Do a round 10 or so.  Heck, do a baker's dozen.  Oh, all right, go ahead and do four square and some odd.  (odd?  No, let's do evens!)

Anyway, elucidate the rationales for writing.

Thanks!
