Introduction to Creative Writing

Why do people read and write?

• READ – enjoyment, calming, therapeutic, gain better knowledge and vocabulary, it can be educating.
• WRITE – express feelings, provide an escape, enjoyment, calming, therapeutic, educating in some sense, to challenge oneself.

I noticed there is a few similarities between the two as the same reasons appear on both lists. Reading and writing are connected and it’s not necessarily correct to divide them into their own category. You could be reading something which inspires you to write you’re own piece of work.

Although reading and writing are both equally beneficial to self development. Ion my opinion, I believe writing can more powerful especially if you’re journalling. For the people who struggle to talk about their feelings and emotions, writing them down in a journal can help to ease the load more. Reading can powerful in its own way as you can detach from reality and delve deep into the words.

Writing is everywhere…
