Do you love to write? Do you know why you write and what you get out of it?
The act of writing helps us:
* reimagine things as they are into what they
could be
* confront issues in our own lives
* therapeutically understand our past
* inform, enlighten, entertain, or inspire
others
* record history and capture the moment
* cope with feelings and emotions
* see ourselves and provide a ledger of
accountability
* see life through a new lens
* brand or rebrand ourselves
* create a product that helps others
* put together content for sale
I have always loved to write. It started in elementary school. Teachers gave extra credit for doing book reports about books that students voluntarily chose to read. This continued a little in junior high school. In my high school, independent study was encouraged. I did a ton of these book report /term papers to jack up my GPA. I loved doing them.
I write to learn how I really feel. It is therapeutic.
When I read, I feel inspired to write. Reading makes me a better writer and infuses me with ideas to write about.
I love to write because, in part, I love to
read.
