What is writing?

Writing is

unleashing your soul and putting it on paper, for the world to read;

making a statement;

defining a word;

description;

how you feel;

making a thesis;

a private thing;

a public thing;

anything!

Sometimes

you get writer's block, and nothing can inspire you to write;

you get inspiration from a single leaf, falling to the ground on an autumn day;

you can only write in a certain place, be it the kitchen, your bedroom, outside in the shade, or sitting on a park bench.

And sometimes

it has to be formal, with perfect spelling, grammar and punctuation;

it can be casual, like you're talking to a trusted friend.

BUT!

Words don't judge.

They let themselves be manipulated.

You are the force behind the words.
