I have ever written something that made me change myself and my life better.

By writing, you may know yourself better besides doing self-reflection.

Apart from the air that i breathe, the water that i drink and roof that shelters me, writing is the greaatest gift that’s been given to me. When i’m depressed or upset, happy or lost, it’s how i confide. I can’t live without pen & paper…

Writing helps to express myself. Once in a while I’ll take up my pen and write in my notebook about a situation, how I feeel about it, what I think.
I write in my own style, the way I like it; from the use of words to my handwriting.
Years from now, I’ll take out these notebooks and remember these moments of my life, big or small.

To me, writing is a form of escape. Writing takes me away from the horrid reality of the world I exist in.
Unfortunately, now somebody wants to control what I write, which is very distressing seeing as I’m only a teen.

Writing is the very essence of my soul, I daresay. And it has been since four years ago, when I found my passion in it. I believe that anyone and everyone can write, and it requires neither flowery language nor mastery of the English language. You just need a pen and a piece of paper and you’re all set to conjure up your own world of dreams, a perfect utopia or otherwise.

And I swear I didn’t get this from some cheesy self-help book.

I love to write, especially love letters. I used to sent articles to the local newspapers, that was during my secondary school days, just to earn some money. Now I want to do it properly as a writer. I know I have a way with words, but how can I publish my work? Now thats the problem which I need advise.

Writing for me is an attempt to connect to another mind. It’s easier for me to write than to speak. In writing, there is always a structure, an order that you can go back to and revise. Words can’t be taken back.

Or should I say, writing is living itself.

I believe there is a writer in everyone - each life is a novel in itself. What is good or bad is after all subjective - even the best novelist has his or her bad day. Of course, reading more does help, so does writing more.

Writing, to me from as far back as I remember, was about releasing, or expressing one’s thoughts or emotions, or “sketching” an image or a scene - er, from primary school?

At one point, it was about the actualisation of the language - Gao Xingjian said this - where one obsessively, constantly struggle to find the right word, the right structure and order, till the words seem to lead you on, instead of your emotions or thoughts, or so it seems to me. That’s why some good novel without a proper plot will never make a good movie script, eg. Cormac Mccarthy’s The Road.

Then I began to enjoy the process, this tug-of-war between the words and the heart (ie emotions). Next, I began to appreciate this world in words, to see the beauty of nature and life described in words.

That was when I realised when one falls in love with writing, one in turn falls in love with life.

I love to write.
For some reason I have not completely read Anne Frank yet, and this extract really whets my appetite for it.
She was such a good writer. She has fulfilled her dream because her diary is now a blessing to many others.
Anyone can blog and write. Anyone should. Let the words flow out of your fingers, and then edit them. I was writing with a typewriter when I was 14. Now that was hard, because we need a special eraser (tip-ex) to edit. It’s so much easier to write in Word or text file now.
