Why Write?

Writing is such an important and integral part of human communication, that it's absolutely imperative that you clearly and consicisely convey your message. Writing serves as both a practical and expressive mode for communication. The more practical way conveys a clear, defined message, whereas with expressive writing, the message is open to interpretation. Whatever kind of writing it is, I feel it's important to express your own thoughts and knowledge no matter what you're trying to say. I feel it helps us to understand things when written down, for example, directions. It's much easier to write directions down than to explain them verbally. As far as the expressive part goes; that has go along with your identity. However you want to convey a message is up to you and only you. It reveals something about you.
