I think the answer is in one word—love. Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us in Science and Health, "Love for God and man is the true incentive in both healing and teaching"—and it is also the true incentive for writing.
When a fresh, original idea that inspires and heals us comes to us from God, isn't it something we want to share with others? The impulsion to write is the impulsion to give. Writing is expression, and expression is an essential ingredient of life. It could be likened to breathing, where we take air in and then breathe it out. It is a circle of income and outflow—the incoming of inspired ideas from divine Mind, and then the outflow or expression of them. If we only breathe in all the time, or just take in inspired ideas without exhaling or expressing them, we get clogged up and stultified. But the gentle balanced activity of taking in and breathing out enables us to share, naturally, gracefully, and joyously.
We will always find the time to do what we love. (Pursuing any hobby illustrates this.) And if we love to love, there will always be time to write and share.
