Writing is powerful

It’s been four years since I have been writing. It started with penning down my feelings in a diary which created a domain for my world. It has been a great ride and I have loved writing since then. It helps me express, emote my thoughts and feelings. There is nothing better than words so I would suggest everyone to get in the practice of writing. I have explored writing on random topics, about conversations that I have with a friend, about things that I bypass every day, about places that I have visited and every minute detail of my experience.

It’s been four years since I have been writing. It started with penning down my feelings in a diary which created a domain for my world. It has been a great ride and I have loved writing since then. It helps me express, emote my thoughts and feelings. There is nothing better than words so I would suggest everyone to get in the practice of writing. I have explored writing on random topics, about conversations that I have with a friend, about things that I bypass every day, about places that I have visited and every minute detail of my experience.

Writing has always given me strength, power and inner peace. I feel so much lighter after my each writing. There is so much to write about when you are all into writing. It’s a discipline that one needs to have to be writing continuously. The day I don’t write, I feel that I am missing out on something from my daily routine. Since last year, I have been procrastinating to write many a times and this has resulted in gathering pile of subjects to write about.  I wish I had written at that time because the essence and meaning of writing gets lost whenever the thoughts are not put into words when required.

Writing is never a onetime expression. I smile reading my previous writings and recollect the different incidents and state that made me write. There are different sets of writers. Some who write for themselves and do not want to publish what is in their mind, while some do not mind if others read their blogs. It is more of sharing an experience and reflection of what they think and who they are. There are many who are very precise while they write and there are many who use very tough language which makes it hard for the reader to find meaning.

A fine piece of writing should be the one which when read by the reader feels like a story that one can relate to, one that expresses the heart and mind and one that is inspirational to read. Writing is so beautiful that connects one with thousands of people and makes them relive or experience what one has been going through. It therefore is so strong that can change one’s thoughts and keeps its words alive forever.
