In Class Blog: Why Write?

I believe you should write to express your feelings. When you’re feeling a certain way you can try writing about it and it may help you. Writing also helps to organize your thoughts. If you are thinking about a lot of things getting them out on paper may help you figure things out better. It’s easier to read things rather than to keep them in your mind. Writing things down frees your mind from all the random thoughts and allows your mind to process one thing at a time rather than thinking about a lot of different things all at the same time.

I sometimes write when I am bored because it gives me something to do. When I’m bored a lot of random things come to my mind. I like to create little funny stories for my brother when I’m just sitting there and I have nothing else to do. I don’t usually write these down but lately I’ve been thinking about creating a short story children’s book, but I don’t know whether or not I will do this for sure. If I do this I will be writing to entertain young kids and to take up some of my free time. Writing can be a punishment for some, but a leisure time activity for others. Why you write depends on your personality, likes and dislikes.
