I have many reasons I write. First of all, I think it is incredibly therapeutic. I don’t write for therapy nearly as much as I should, but I think it’s helpful. Writing to express my emotions really makes myself feel better, even if (especially if) no one reads it. However, I like to write for an audience as well. I find joy in constructing tweets that people will laugh at and maybe be able to relate to (and maybe this isn’t even writing at all). I find myself often laughing at myself in order to get through life, and writing helps me accomplish that.
As far as academic writing, I obviously do not enjoy it as much. However, I will say that I feel a sense of pride when I finish a piece that I have worked diligently on. Academic writing is necessary, but even this blog post is not as daunting as a 6 page paper with 4 sources (obviously). I love writing narratives and expressing my opinions by writing. I write to entertain myself, and hopefully to entertain others.
I am in an Advanced Writing class currently, and I find myself incredibly engaged in the subject matter because it is focused primarily on autobiographical writing. I most enjoy writing about my own experiences and myself. Maybe I am in the majority.
Writing, in my opinion, is one of the most important means of communication. It requires knowledge and thought in a way that simply speaking does not. I think that is why I admire writing so much. It is an art form that not everyone can master, but I think that everyone should be given the opportunity to succeed. Everyone will not master writing, but I think that it is possible that everyone could given the right tools. I want to be able to provide those tools one day.
