WHY WRITING IS IMPORTANT TO ME - Day 201: 5 Minute Freewrite

<center>![typewriter-801921_1920.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWFS42xSTFbJeUQsFDBoN8rzWVgAu7MNo4DhcBSC4TLNz/typewriter-801921_1920.jpg)</center>
My journey with writing goes a long way back, from my essay classes in high school till now and so far, it has been a pretty amazing journey. I'd never have guessed 2 years ago that I would be able to reach a number of readers on the internet today, steemit has been a catalyst that helped launch my creativity to another level. most especially when I came across the freewriting challenges by @marianwest. It helped me to think outside my box and to escape my traditional way of writing.
<h2>WRITING HELPS MY THINKING</h2>
Writing finds a way to ground me in my thought process. There are so many thoughts that fill my head throughout the day but when I sit down to write, I only think about what I'm writing about, my mind becomes dissolved into what I'm doing and freewriting helps to break the barriers of overthinking and enables me to write freely without hinderances.

<h2>WRITING HELPS ME TO VENT IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY</h2>
It is often said that nothing bad ever happens to a writer, everything is material but it goes beyond just writing about a bad or good day. I see writing as an art form of converting an experience either bad or good into an enjoyable format. For instance, if I'm going through a tough day, I could write a poem about conflicts, heaviness, etc, or If I feel good I could write about Nature's love, the love of a mother, etc. 
Creating art from real life experiences is a beautiful way of venting either a positive or negative experience.

<h2>WRITING HELPS ME TO DREAM</h2>
There is a great amount of Imagination that comes with writing. the ability to use words to paint a perfect picture exposes the mind to a great deal of creativity and visualizations. There is something about creating mental imageries and breaking them down into words that help me to develop more vivid imaginations.

<h2>WRITING HELPS ME TO BE MORE EMPATHIC</h2> 
There are different forms of writing but in each form, you are basically telling a story surrounding a character or different issues, either in a fiction or non-fiction format.
Personally, before I can write about something I have to be able to put myself into the shoes of the character or imagine myself in the situation, writing from an empathic point of view is one of the keys to engaging potential readers. writing helps me to be more empathic in that sense.

Yeah writing has many benefits. A lot of people are simply scared of writing anything, but it's actually not too hard once you start doing it.

Exactly @simgirl those prompts are a blessing. it's like waiting for random gems each day and using what you get to create something unique in your own way. thanks for dropping a comment :-)

Excellent points.  Freewriting has certainly helped me to think out of *my* box.  : )

I assume myself to be a great writer but the reality is I always get stuck with long and passive sentences.  Any ideas how to turn them into short and active?

@abmakko · May 10 '18 (edited)

From my point of view, I think that most active sentences always begin with the subject and usually end with the object. e.g: mary kicked the ball. A passive sentence would be: the ball is being kicked by mary. to shorten a long sentence, one should be able to keep a brief relationship between the subject and the object. thanks for reading @amarbir.

Very true about the venting part. I am a talker by nature who has trained myself to be very quiet. Which means my mind is always speaking but my mouth isn't. Writing helps me release all those pent up words.

Writing indeed helps like a therapy, but if you are a true talker then talk on, maybe you could start a vlog or podcast, I do envy people who can talk effortlessly unlike me :-)

One of my struggles is writing. I am not very good but something that I would want to excel in. Lot of great writers here and I always say, "How did they come up with that?" I feel so much fire but often I run out of words to say. Takes me a lot of time just to finish my stories. Well for now I try to write with my photos and I hope to get better each day. Thanks for the tips.

I think your mind is getting overstimulated, It happens to me also. fortunately, writing also helps with that, whenever you fill overwhelmed with ideas just write whatever comes to your mind, keep writing until you feel empty, then you can start going over your written words and build up on that. thanks for reading :-)

Your writings are very true about freewrite. Freewrite opens one's
mind horizon beyond limitation and it is also a powerful weapon
of a writer. Your post is brief and understandable. Thanks. @abmakko.
