When people ask why I write, I simply answer: "Because good writing allows people to feel something deep within they didn't know exist."
So I write.
I feel something.
I want others to feel something.
That's all I ask.
Writing is identity indeed. I agree wholeheartedly.
I think that's great motivation. :) I think I write because I enjoy getting lost in the story that I'm writing, and also because I love it when people enjoy what I wrote. I love hearing about why people write... there are probably as many different answers as there are writers.
And that's why we're an amazing breed ;)
