Writing has always been something that I was relativity good at. I am not vain enough to say that I am the best writer there is and I know better than to call myself great at it. Next to drawing, though, writing is probably the only thing I can do with confidence.
However being good at something is not enough reason to do it in my book. I know plenty of people who are good at tasks but despise them all the same. I, on the other hand, enjoy writing greatly. Half because it is something that you cannot imitate. With things such as math, the product will always be the same. Two plus two will always equal two. But when you write, two plus two equals whatever you want it to be because it is what you choose for it to be, and chances are no other person can come up with what you do. While writing does have laws just like math, they are much easier to work with to create something new. They are more like guidelines anyway.The other half of writing that draws me in is the creative aspect. Writing gives you the ability to create something beautiful out of nothing. Just like a paintbrush, a keyboard has the ability to make something that inspires others to feel a broad range of emotion. I cannot count the number of times a piece of writing has made me upset or has inspired me to act or persuaded me to see things differently.
Writing is something that a lot of people see as an annoying task that is, well, just that. A task. It is not something fun to do for them. I see things a little differently. I do enjoy writing and when it can be something that has the potential to be powerful and meaningful, the real question is why wouldn't I write?
