Why I’m writing and why you should too
When I was a little girl I used to write short stories, I loved writing, it made me feel free, it almost gave me another life where I could be anyone or anything. One day I read my story to a classmate and she made fun of me, that was the end of it, I stopped wirting. Many years later I wrote on an online forum and I felt the long lost euphoria that writing gave me, and I never stopped ever since.
Writing helps you gather your thoughts. When you write you are forced to think, remember, look at a topic from various angles. In the long run it will even improve your speech and memory, trust me I speak from experience.
Writing gives you an outlet. All that thoughts and feelings no longer need to dwell in your head, writing will give you clarity and a sense of release.
You may end up making a few extra bucks. Although it was not the main reason why I started writing, I must admit it is a pleasant side effect. I am not here to tell you how to make money online by wirting.
