Any person
who has a hobby they are passionate can in a matter of just a few minutes tell
you why they are enthusiastic (and in love) with whatever the hobby might be. I
believe most writers (and authors) would agree on the list I have provided
below as to why writing is a way of life for me.
1. Writing allows me to share my opinion.
(Shouldn’t you know my opinion more often?)
2. Writing allows me to fictionalize
that which I can no longer remember accurately (or don’t want to remember).
3. Writing gives me some means of
control over my life (when a lot of other things seem out of control).
4. Writing is a quiet, solitary activity
that allows me to listen to that quiet voice in my head (Some might call this
meditation).
5. Writing allows me to create something
which other people enjoy, and I take great pride in.
6. Writing will (hopefully) one day in
the future be a means of extra financial income for my family.
7. Writing (and being a published
author) is a great conversation starter at any social gathering.
8. Writing immortalizes some part of me
for future generations of my family and friends. (Could anyone who knows me
really forget me?)
9. Writers are (in a greater sense)
teachers. They have something so important to impart that they have recorded it
in either an electronic, audio, or book format.
10.
Writing
(to someone you know) is among one of the most personal, intimate things that
can be done for another person.
What’s keeping
you from writing (or journaling) right now?
Don’t procrastinate another day. Remember, someone needs to read what
you have to say. (It could change their life forever.) May writing become a way
of life for you that you will never stop.
