Centre Stage: Why I Write
Hi there,
This week I would like to discuss why I write and why I enjoy connecting with each of you through the ‘medium’ of writing.
When I am writing something like this, I feel a strong connection with those who may take the time to open the link and read the article. So I imagine what it would be like to read the article from the reader’s point of view and ask myself if it would be something that I would like to read myself.
The most important thing to me when I sit down to write an article for the week is knowing that someone is choosing to read what I have written, and it is important to me I make my post worthy of the time spent reading it. I strive for each post to be entertaining, occasionally informative, and always engaging. I also realise that not everyone wants to spend too much time reading on their phone, so my posts need to be concise — something I struggle with as I like to go on long-winded rants when the occasion calls for it.
I know from previous experience the importance of showing up consistently every week and being here with a post when it is expected, without taking too much time between posts if I ever cannot post on any particular week for one reason or another. Consistency is essential to me this time around, as I took a lot of time between posts in the past and it never really worked for me.
It also feels great when I receive engaging comments back when a post of mine moved someone enough to want to open a dialogue with me about that article. I love getting the chance to talk to those who read my content and discuss what they liked, or sometimes, didn’t like about it and take that feedback onboard.
On a personal note, I also like to write here as it gives me an outlet to express opinions that I rarely say out loud. So having you here listening to me when I have something to say feels very validating, and when I say I really appreciate you taking the time to come here and read what I have to say, I mean it. I truly do. Writing has always been a way for me to express myself and is the main reason I can picture myself doing this for years, as long as there are people willing to read and listen to what I have to say. So I really appreciate you for that.
In closing, I hope you enjoyed this article. It was a pleasure to share why I write and share why my readers are so important to me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it proved worth your time.
