What Writing Means to You
The Perfect Getaway
Every person has that one thing or person that they can go to whenever they are feeling troubled. Not only does it feel good to express what is bothering you out loud, but it’s also comforting to know that you don’t need to tell the entire world what you are feeling. Writing to me is the chance for me to express myself with an endless amount of words. There is no limit on what you can say or how much you can say. The opportunities in writing are endless and that is what makes it the perfect getaway. It is a chance to escape from the world and be alone with a pencil and piece of paper, and express every single emotion in your body at that moment without hesitation. Not only is it a good way to express emotion, it also gives one the chances to be as creative as they want to be nothing. When it comes to writing, nothing is impossible nor is anything a stupid idea. Anything can be made a reality through writing. There is no right or wrong when it comes to creative writing. By being able to express myself and put my creativity to the test, writing becomes my escape from the world.
Movies and TV shows are always a big impact to any child. My first experience with writing came from getting my first diary. As seen in many movies or TV shows, there is always the little girl in the family who has a diary to write about their secret crush at school, or silly things like why they are mad at their sibling. Therefore, seeing this example on TV only made me want to get a diary as well when I was younger. Throughout my childhood I owned multiple diaries that I could always turn to and express my feelings in. Being so young, there was nothing serious that was ever really written in that diary. Truly, it was just a way for me to sit down and write what I was thinking that day or what I wanted to say that I felt I couldn’t say out loud. As we grow up, we see that simple notions such as just writing in your diary as a young girl, can become an example of why

    The most vivid memory I have of writing is back in the tenth grade. I had the best teacher ever in regards to writing. I used to view writing as a senseless waste of time. Writing, in my opinion, at the time was always noted to be formal and boring; however, my tenth grade English teacher, Mrs. Perez, changed my whole perception of writing and how it affects humanity. One day after class she pulled me aside and recommended a book known as, “His Dark Materials,” which is about a young girl who, with her allies, fought for the discovery of a dark substance called the “Dust.” The book single handedly altered my mental picture of writing and creativity. Writing can be about anything in the universe, and the possibilities are endless. The main point, however, which ties everything together, is imagination. One’s imagination can truly be defined as infinite to the power of infinite, because it contains numerous amounts of details and features on life and the world itself. How does this tie to writing one may ask. Well an elaborate imagination helps to create an elaborate piece of writing. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”…

    Everyone writes for different reasons. Writing allows us to tell a story through our own perspective. It allows us to pour all our thoughts and emotions into something that we otherwise might not speak about. Writing can spark ideas and memories we have and draw them out to be put into words on paper. It exercises our mind and our way of thinking. When you write you say what you mean. Some people use writing as an outlet, a way to express themselves or relieve stress and anxiety. It can be used for any purpose. Elie Wiesel uses his experience in the holocaust in a lot of his writing. He feels that he must be the one to tell the story of the victims, the ones who can’t tell it for themselves. As a survivor he is responsible for never letting anyone forget about it. I like to write about something I feel strongly about, something that makes me happy or makes me think, someone or something that has influenced me in different ways. For instance, when I visited Ireland a few years ago, the experience I had there is something I care so much about and it has affected me to such an extent that I want to write about it. The people in my life and the experiences I have had are topics that make me excited to write about.…

    I write because I have to. I write to create a once in a lifetime, imputed edition book that reminds us of the past. I write when I'm sitting at home bored and have a ton on my mind. I write because it's a longer skill I will need to use throughout my whole life. I write to imagine the world in a different way. I write to express my imagination and creativity. I write wanting to escape all the stress and negativity in my life. I write to communicate with my friends, family, coworkers, and boss. I write because I want to. I write from the comfort of my bed to the hardness of desk chairs. I…

    I believe that writing can be a great tool for everyone in order to express themselves freely. Not everyone is a writer; some people have to work at putting their thoughts and words together, before putting them to paper. We are all unique in how we express ourselves; some are just more creative than others. How do we as individuals, get to that point to be able to expand or elaborate further on paper our thoughts? When we have finally gathered our thoughts and start to lay the words down on paper, how do we then decide how to organize them to be able to present them to our audience? In order to start the writing process we have to come up with a topic that we believe would interest others. We then need to do thorough research to have all of our facts and supporting documentation. This would also include making sure that we cite our sources. We never want to plagiarize; using any other persons work without giving them full credit is unethical and dishonest. With that being said, how do we learn to cite our sources properly? How do we determine if the source is accurate? This is all part of learning the writing process. Once we have learned the process, I believe we can all become a great writer if we so choose to be.…

    I don't have much to say about writing for myself. Writing doesn't mean much to me. I am not a writer. I am an orator. However, writing does mean something to my wife. I love my wife. She loves to write. She spends hours a day writing. I watch words flow from her fingertips as she writes page after page. She doesn't let me read much of what she writes, but when she does, I can see the passion and the joy that she has for what she writes about. I wish that I could write with such a fire.…

    As I sit here now writing this journal, I can’t help but feel how brilliantly ironic it is to write a whole journal on the topic of how I write. Besides that though, I guess I should begin. Writing, for me, has always been somewhat of a friend and a home. It’s been a companion through dark times, and a place I could go no matter how I was feeling. I have a deep love of the written word, and a great respect for anyone who puts pen to paper. (Or, in the new age of “handy-dandy” Chromebooks, anyone who puts keys to Google Docs.) That all being said, I have mixed feelings on how I view myself specifically. I think in my many years of jotting down random short stories and poetry, I have developed a strong grasp of all the traits of writing. On the other hand though, I definitely think there are still areas of my writing that could be improved.…

    My writing process has always been a frustrating one. I like writing, but I don't think I'm very good at it. When I was younger, I loved letting my creative side shine by writing silly stories and pretending I was Stephen King, using words that I didn't even understand. My dad read me Shel Silverstein's books of poems and and drawings. Those books inspired me so much to write and to draw and be creative on a blank sheet of paper.…

    There are people who will argue that engaging in expressive writing on the regular basis is not healthy way to deal with emotional distress. This is due to the association writing has with obsessiveness and over analyzing of the meaning of certain things that occur in life. Cruder, when asked if she thought expressive writing causes people to be too invested in their thoughts says, “people can get stuck in their head and overthink when they are trying to write.” Expressive writing does involve a lot of honesty with one’s self, and sometimes the truth may be too much too handle. That is why it is important for people to flesh out their emotions through writing when they feel ready. Once an individual is ready to engage in expressive writing,…
