These days, I am writing every day.
I have always liked to scribble floating thoughts and shove them away into some dark corners, yet these days, it’s a more conscious and intentional activity. And today, I have decided to write down why I write.
1. It clears my head. It helps clear up floating thoughts.
2. It’s fun, especially when things just write themselves and when I find it funny to re-read what I had just written.
3. The record becomes memory. I can’t really rely on my damn brain that forgets everything in a second, yet writing creates a record and it boosts memory. Even if I forget things, I can just read what I wrote.
4. It might help somebody. The lessons I learned from my experience can be of help to somebody or my writing itself can give pleasure (hopefully).
5. Consistent writing should improve my writing skill. I prefer writing well to just writing. It would be great if my writing gets better the more I write.
6. Writing helps organize thoughts. It’s a bit different from the first one – clearing my head. As I am writing something, I often realize that there’s an error or flaw in my thinking. Writing also clarifies thoughts by structuring them.
Just as I will keep reading and learning languages for the rest of my life, writing will be part of my life as well, while I enjoy it fully and also make it useful for me and hopefully for somebody else.
