My Writing Philosophy

To me, writing is a form of communication, expression, and discovery. When I write, I usually use my writing as a means to communicate my thoughts and ideas. Other times, I simply write to express myself. Whether I'm mad, glad, or sad, I can always write something to express my feelings. Even if no one ever reads my writing, there is still some sense of emotional fulfillment when I am able to express myself on paper. And in expressing myself, I can sometimes understand myself more than I did before. And that's where the discovery aspect comes in. When I'm writing to communicate with someone, my objectives are to clearly and effectively compose my thoughts, theories, and ultimately my message on paper. And hopefully the reader will understand what I'm trying to say, possibly learn something new, and obtain a clear view of my perspective.
