When things don’t seem to make sense to me, I do what I know best: I write.
And here’s the thing. A lot of things haven’t made sense lately.
So…. I write.
I write and ask God why.
I write and tell God I trust Him.
I write God again and ask why.
I write about the fact that I hate injustice.
I write to vent.
I write because sometimes it seems the paper, or the keyboard, are the only ones to understand me.
I write because it’s part of who I am.
Jeff Goins asked me this question the other day, so now I’m asking you.
Why do you write? Leave a comment below.. I would love to hear.
I’m very thankful you write!
I’m very thankful you write, too.
Great reasons to write, Sundi Jo! And doing it very well indeed!
Blessed and Happy Christmas!
Thanks, Katina. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, too.
I write to express. I write now because it gets me out of the inner world where my introverted mind dwells.
I write to engage. Words are like a magnet, drawing people together to enrich each other in an exchange of thoughts, ideas, and dreams.
I write to encourage. Sharing my writing with others is a way to live generously, to give without expecting something in return.
Some great insights here, Jon. Thanks for sharing.
I love it that you write because I learn from you! Thanks girl.
Thanks, Alene. That means a lot to me.
I used to write for the same reasons. Maybe that is part of my struggle right now. I stopped writing. I could say on paper, or keyboard as you said, what I couldn’t express by spoken word. The words would just start spilling out, and like you said, I didn’t really know what I had written until I read it back. I HAVE to start writing again, whether blogging again or just for myself.
No better time to start than the present.
