The mere act of writing down your plans gives them form in the physical world.
That’s reason enough, but there are more.
There is no more effective method for organizing your thoughts than writing.
That’s because for writing to be of any use (even to the author), it has to be organized and sensible. This means that when you write down your thoughts, you impose order on them.
Once you impose this order, you’re one step close to taking what exists in your mind and manifesting it in the physical world. I can think of no more powerful process than this. Writing is, in the purest sense of the word, alchemy.
I don’t think people appreciate how wonderful it is that all non-naturally occurring things we see in this world were originally only plans and dreams in someone’s mind. Writing is the bridge between the realm of imagination and the domain of the physical world.
So in the end…
Ultimately, I think you should write if you have something to say.
Your personality will steer you towards the appropriate genre for your expression or whatever idea you feel is important enough to put out in the world, but if you’re called to share your experiences and perspectives with people, then you have no choice but to write.
To do anything else is to deprive the world of your unique perspective |
