Writing One Thought at a Time

Why Write? That's a pretty open-ended question? I write a lot because it sometimes help to put your thoughts onto paper/blog/computer/etc instead of letting them float around in your mind. I have a folder full of writings, most of them are just rambles and rants that sometimes makes a point and sometimes just expresses an emotion I need to get out. I don't want to waste a thought, so I always try to put something down on paper.

George Orwell included this in his entry about writing: "I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life." I liked his idea of a "private world" because I think writing can help create that. It is just a way for one's own thoughts to come to life, even if no one else sees them.
