Why Do We Write And How Do We Achieve Our Why?
An invitation to bring a cuppa, pull up a chair and share your thoughts.
Recently I wrote an article and asked, Do you get value from a short form? Reading the comments inspired me to think about - why do we write and how do we achieve our why?
Some write for money. I am quite attached to eating and sleeping in a comfy bed myself, so earning is a nice thing. However, there are far easier and quicker ways to earn money. So why put in all the hours? What drives us to spend our time this way?
At the core, what are we trying to achieve with our writing? Is it all about earning and marketing? Or is it about something more?
Reasons other than money to write:
🖋 Share an idea or information.
🖋 Connect and have a conversation.
🖋 Engage in THE conversation, continued through the ages in the form of writing, shared between the living and those no longer in this world.
🖋 Understand ourselves.
🖋 Gain an understanding of each other and the world around us.
🖋 Share our human experience.
