I (attempt to) write songs for the following reasons:

1) I enjoy it

2) It's given a sense a purpose back to my life, something I hadn't had for a few years because of health problems.

3) I have a talent for it and want to find the limit of this talent.

4) I'd like to earn enough money to no longer be on welfare.

5) To get my moment in the sunshine. I have burning desire that drives me on every day: To turn around to those people who had written me off, and say: "You're always asking what I do with my life, and if I watch TV all day?" At this point I'd like to turn round to them and say: "You hear that song playing on the radio? I WROTE THAT! Now what do YOU do?"

6) It makes me feel very good about myself, being someone who is attempting to create something.

7) I wish to leave a mark on the world.
