What Does Writing Mean to You?–Questions Week

One thing I’ve always loved about having a blog is being able to communicate with my readers. Before I was blogging (almost every day this month–with a few hiccups in between) it had been quite a while since I had been able to communicate with my readers. I still haven’t had much in the way of comments, so I thought I would use this blog to open up a dialogue about writing, and what exactly writing means to you?

Writing has and always will be a form of self expression for myself, it’s a way for me to share my thoughts and feelings and more importantly a way for me to work through some of my feelings. It allows me to vent my frustrations and it’s a form of catharsis many times. I love it even when I hate it, and it’s allowed me to fully realize who I am. I have learned more about myself through my writing, than any other way I could imagine.

I often wonder, how I would answer that popular question, “What would you be doing if you weren’t doing (what you currently do)?” and the only answer I have ever been able to come up with is, I don’t really want to have to find out.

So now, I pose the question to you my readers, what does writing mean to you?
