Writing is...
        by Kristi  (kristilove@Writing.Com)


All of us here at WDC are writers. Some of us write poetry while others of us write dark and frightening novels. No matter the form or the material contained within our masterpieces, each of us gets something out of putting words on paper, or screen since the advent of the Internet. I want to know exactly how writing has helped you to grow as a person. Please feel free to share all the different ways your particular style and/or method has served to enlighten your life!

"Writing is a gift from the Lord brought initially to me through my mother who shared crosswords and sci-fi books when I was a young, sickly, ninety-five pound weakling. From there the gift grew and has become a way to release the words that must exit!"

-- Steve - Focused on elephants

"OT: If you like to write satire then join "Invalid Item" "

-- Steve Ellen

"Because I write satire and comedy, writing has not helped my personal growth at all. In fact, I feel stunted and immature. My once vibrant brain has shriveled and died. Now I live like an automaton, and not a particularly funny one. Thank you, writing. "

-- Steve Ellen

" Writing is an outlet to the world within our world. "

-- Bre-Bre the Ringleader

"The simple truth is that writing has saved my life on more than one occasion. It's my savior and my sanity. Without it I would never be able to express the pains, happiness, and comedic statements that I can't find the courage to speak aloud."

-- MoonStarDutchess

"Writing is living my life on paper"

-- ShellySunshine

"Writing is the way of releasing all of the stories beating around in my brain!"

-- Sherri the Writer

"Writing is the fine art of showing off our lack of perception, insight and understanding while being a brilliant showcase for our most cherished inadequacies. Occasional we get it all wrong and something enjoyable comes of it."

-- Mark

"Writing has become a new form of communication. You can share your life, your worries, your yearnings, and your dreams with total strangers. You find comfort in those people that you really would not known otherwise."

-- Omni~pink bubbles r everywhere

"Writing is the act of taking your ideas, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, opinions, questions and answers and turning them into tangible objects for all to share."

-- Kristi

"Writing is a little way awkward for myself but I persist writing daily and better and better get so one day I too be rich like other great writers so maybe you want to help and send some GPs to me and I thank you in my book."

-- Steve Ellen

"Writing...a world I create...and I share...in this world, I can entertain but I can also share intimately what is on my heart...and it is fulfilling."
