Why Do I Write?
I write to express my feelings both literally and figuratively. I like to share my thoughts and writing is a great way to do that. I can pen these thoughts at any time of the day and I can choose to share them with one, a few or many. I can also decide to hold some thoughts private. I share prose, essays or articles via my blog or by email. If it's a larger issue, then I publish locally via online media or newspapers. I share poetry through local newspapers, my blog or Facebook. Some poems I share with a few friends and save those for the anthology.
Some of the writings are to provoke thought, share information or to vent about an issue. I won't call myself the best writer but I am working hard to improve myself. I find that people would try to get me to write speeches or reports because they think I like to write. I do like to write but not about what you want me to write. I write about what I want share or provoke thought about. Some writers can take any topic and write fluidly about it. I like to be able to research and know my subject and be able to share fresh information.
Would I write for money? YES, I have and will continue to do so. I would like to make money from Math, which I think I am good at but the forum has not presented itself yet. I neither want to be a Math teacher not accoutant - tutor maybe. I choose Marketing as a career choice because it is dynamic. I love a challenge but a challenge that I want to take on. I rather hate the project that you think would be good for me. I just never sign on to what others want for me.
My writing has helped me to get a better eye for editing. I stay refreshed on my grammar basics. I do my crossword puzzles as a brain teaser and now I am into Sudoku which really makes the brain work. I am all for stepping into the next level and growing as a writer and overall as a better human being.
