Why Write?

As I said in my blog post about Joan Didion’s reason for her writing, I can agree with her reason which is to sway the reader’s opinion towards your own, to change their mind. You want to have what you’re writing provoke some thought out of your readers.

Another reason to write would be to get out onto paper what you can’t say in person. Writing can be a great way to express yourself and your ideas. From writing a novel, a short story, a thesis or even a poem can be a great way of expressing yourself. I know that I can express myself in writing better than just having a conversation and I’m sure there are a lot of people who are the same way as me.
