Why Write? February 27, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Weblogs , 4 commentsI sometimes stop when I see myself in the mirror. I do not often recognize the person reflected back.
I see a tired person, who is starting to show age. I am not sure that is me.
I wonder why people write. I started to clear my head. I find that there are thoughts tangled and woven into the fabric of my brain, and late at nights, I can not clear them away. They lurk and wait for me to ask them to come forth.
So I started writing. And journalizing. And getting hand cramps.
Then I discovered blogs. Oh! I can type! And I can touch type! Something that would have helped me get a job several years ago, but I digress.
I write to get the thoughts out.
I write to clear the depression out and to force myself to do something about it
I write to convince myself my kids are normal…without the bounds of normal at least.
I write to express what I can’t otherwise.
Why do you write? This is rhetorical. You don’t have to comment, but something to think about!
