Write Because ...

It helps.

Write Because ...

If just a single word can change the course of a person's day, just think about what writing something more might lead to. Writing leads to an endless amount of thoughts for a reader, but starts with an endless amount of ideas by a writer. There are countless amounts of reasons to write and topics to write on. Writers think of reasons to write and topics to write about. Writing encompasses an endless capacity of ideas, and here is a list of reasons why you should write too:


1. Write because you're privileged enough to know how to.

2. Write because you have something to say.

3. Write because it helps express your thoughts.

4. Write because someone told you that you have the potential to be a great writer.

5. Write because someone told you you're no good at it.

6. Write because you're happy.

7. Write because you're angry.

8. Write because you need a new hobby.

9. Write because of the way it makes you feel.

10. Write because it inspires yourself.

11. Write because, sometimes, you need an escape.

12. Write because you need a moment to yourself.

13. Start writing by a word.

14. Write for yourself.

15. Write to inspire others.

16. Write because it matters.

17. Write because it helps.

18. Write a story.

19. Write a poem.

20. Write a few words a day.

21. Write 1,000 words a day.

22. Write when you want to.

23. Write because it feels good.

24. Write because it makes you happy.

25. Write fiction.

26. Write about reality.

The list of why you should write is never ending. The reasons are all so simple, yet, many people don't take the time out to write even the simplest of sentences. Writing is not something that has to be done on a daily basis, but on your own time and at your own leisure. Some people write fictional stories that take us through the journey of their imagination, while others write a more realistic story in their private diaries that take them through their own journeys. It does not matter how you write, what you write, or even how often you write, as long as you write. Whether you write to inspire others or yourself, it doesn't matter. All that counts is that your writing means something to you.
