Why I Write

The importance of critical analysis.

Why I Write
The Thrillionaire

Some writers write for the potential money involved. Some write to tell their story. I, write for neither of those reasons. Personally, I hate fictional writing. Don't get me wrong, I love to read. Those as for writing it, no thank you! Now yes, I love how writing a book starts. How the exposition introduces every single character as each character has their own individual and personalized background. However writing passed the exposition is just awful. No, I write for more than fiction. I write for

Though in all seriousness, critical analysis allows a lot more open doors in the writing world. As opposed to fiction, I can write for any newspaper, online site, academic paper, etc. Also, I can write about anything I want. Now yes, fiction does give the same licenses. However, my term of "anything" appears to be much broader than fiction's term of "anything". For example, in the world of fiction one can write about how two or more character perform a certain set of actions and then explain their thoughts and feelings. I can write about any topic at hand, from art restorations, what was found at the newestarchaeologicaldig, the latest in politics, etc. My topic choice is truly endless.

Critical analysis writing is also an outlet for evidence- supported opinions. I can state anything that is on my mind about any trending idea, however I must have evidence to back it up. This is actually my favorite part as I am allowed to bring out my inner nerd girl In my writing.

In order to back up my points I use history, science, math, and random encyclopedia facts. I talk about current news stories, point out amazing artist feats, and occasionally discuss my view on politics. It is through these pieces that I get a chance to voice my opinion. Without critical analysts, there would not be logical arguments or legal defenses. There would be no such thing as newspaper columnists and most of all there would be no one available to right letters to the editor. Those who are the masters of critical analysis are some of the most valuable to this world. They have the ability to absorb what is around them, apply what they know, and speak new ideas. It is an incredible process. So don't count out the writers who don't contribute to the New York Bestsellers List. We all contribute, and in my opinion I think we need more logical thoughts compared to "50 Shades Darker".

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
