Write. Do It Today.

I was sharing some ideas with Ms. Susan today, as I enjoy doing so often. We chatted briefly about writing, which encouraged me to rant further on the subject...

In the past more of my friends kept blogs. But now they don't. They've "grown out of them" they think. Well let me just say, I miss you guys. I hear very little from a good percentage of people I'd hoped to keep in better contact with after moving away. I wish they would at least keep a blog. I understand being too busy with life, because I am myself. Writing blogs is the easiest way to keep a number of people updated about your goings on, if you care to that is. I would read yours. That's why I keep mine. I knew I wouldn't necessarily have the time or capacity to separately email or phone call every single person I'd like to keep informed about my life. Make one post! It's that easy.

Maybe I just find more enjoyment in the act of writing than others do. There's something really pleasant about a moment captured in words and deeper thoughts than you might have in person. Plus, you never know what things you could share that might be of great influence to someone else. What you write doesn't have to be what you did that day. Remember in school when you actually had to push your mind to write for a grade? Or remember the post your friend made one day about wishing more people would write because she knows you have great potential?

There's something to be said for challenging your brain for a hobby that isn't your everyday ho-hummings. You'll find it's good for you. Just saying.
