#ScribesAndMakers 6.9 — If you had a chance to ask an author or artist (living or deceased) one question, what would it be?
Who I'm speaking to here is irrelevant, but my main question(s) would be just this: "Why did you feel compelled to start writing? What motivated you?"
We all have varying answers to something like this, and I love asking my friends about where, why, and how their writing journeys began. I've used questions like this for my own writing hashtag as well, to be honest. It's very thought-provoking.
