All great reasons but I think you forgot one: write for yourself. Be selfish as a writer. Not everything should be outwards-looking but inwards-searching. 😊

In other words, I write because I want to become wiser. I write because I want to improve on my skill as a writer. I write because I hope that one day someone will be inspired by the things I write.
