If I prioritize  the list it would look like this:

1. I like to express my feelings and ideas.  I enjoy the creative feeling.
2. I like seeing my name in print.
3. I love words and enjoy crafting readable sentences and paragraphs
4. I like to tell stories.

6. I like to empower people with useful information.
7. I like to persuade people to take some action or to think differently.

Most people like to write what they read.  Here's what I read:

• Tom Clancy types- an insight into current political thinking
• Fiction - I enjoy the creativity and the well written sentences and character studies
• Non-fiction - some insight into science, government economic policies, stock market and investing
• Crime novels - I love the intricate plots of the whodunnit
• Sci Fi - if it is not too weird.  I like stuff that is a glimpse into the future or poses a new paradigm
• Stephen King types - I love his conversations
• Some poetry because it requires one to strip out the excess
