What is writing?

Writing is a wonderful thing to do to words. Writing is a way to take thoughts and feelings and describe them. Writing is a way to use your words wisely, unlike the spoken word, writing lets you backspace or erase your words and tailor them exactly. Writing is a way to experience old memories, the last good kiss or the dawning of a new personal revelation. Writing has everything to do with taking words, some of which are used daily and some which are used rarely, and saying something brilliant. It's a way to tell a good story, pass advice or wink at somebody. Whether in a journal, or on this blog: writing is, above all, what I do.
