Considering this is directed at me, I'll answer it, probably with a lenghty response as well.
I love to write. When I get in at night and can't sleep, I write. I've written tons of short stories and have a novel (which probably needs a bit of refinement) as well. There is also a volume I wrote about a ficticious baseball team that I've worked on since 1999! I've always liked to write stories, ever since I was in kindergarten and wrote my first book.
You are not the first to say I write too much. I've always had a knack of writing more than what is required. I think it's because I care more about detail than the main idea sometimes and will go out of my way to make sure things are supported. This is true in everything for me, not just writing. When I first learned how to steal a base, the first thing I was concerned about was how to place my feet to slide. This was before the actual concept of "when you should run" was explained to me. It's even worse in video games! When I first got Mario Kart 64, the very first thing I did was read the manual, and I gravitated right to the section on items, not even looking at what button I'd need to press to make the kart accelerate, jump, or fire the turtle shell. Most people who have learned that game, at least from what they've told me, cared more about the general idea of "how do I make it go" before they cared about the speed effects of the mushrooms or something like that.
I just realized I made a mistake. In this topic I was supposed to give a stupid answer to the question that doesn't explain things correctly like mine did. In that case, I will say the stupid reason for my long posts is that I am addicted to typing and can't live without it.
So that brings me to a question. Are you addicted to anything?
