What is Writing to You?

What is Writing to You?

There has been enough flexing in this world to last forever and “never let them see you sweat” is terrible advice!

Pondering why and what I write.

Please share any writing thoughts you have.

I would love to know what writing is to you. Please add to my list in the comments.

For me, writing is:

therapy,

kindness to myself,

a way to show love to others

a friend who is always available

the content of my heart, that I am sometimes unaware of

a whisper that makes me lean in

a laugh that makes my abs hurt

a eulogy

a lament

a memory

a breath of fresh air

a safe place that allows me to reach outside my comfort zone

a dream or vision or hope brave enough to be put on paper

a gift…

Encouragement, writing

authenticity, transparency, vulnerability, writing

I love ALL your “what writing is to me!”

The best way for us to learn is to communicate what we’re learning back to someone else; for writers, that’s through writing. So for me, I write what I hear The Lord saying to me….what I feel like He is show me…sharing what I’m learning.

Love your blog Katie!

  Oh thank you so much Cindy! I love what writing is to you!!! I have cabinets full of journals of my conversations with God-they are some of my most treasured possessions. Thank you so much for sharing what you are learning, thank you for being a hope-offerer in the name of Jesus!
