Why You Should Write Everyday

I used to hate writing.  Back in elementary school, I would dread my teacher asking us to write “journal entries.”  These entries would be on various pointless topics ranging from “my favorite vacation” to “if I were a dog.”  I would spitefully try to B.S. in my writing (if I were a dog, I would lick myself in places I couldn’t normally reach).  Yet as I grew older, I found writing to be a prime outlet for getting out all of my built up thoughts and emotions.  I now write everyday, and I firmly believe that you should too.

 Writing everyday not only can be relaxing, but it also improves your writing tremendously.  I found that the more I write the easier and more quickly words flow together. I no longer need to stop and think about what I want to inscribe.  My fingers just glide across the keyboard as easily as if I were speaking the words.

 Daily writing also allows you to connect with yourself and the world around you.  I sometimes note the first thing I see and then just write about it.  I can easily fill up pages on the attributes of the bread box in my kitchen.  I become more attuned to my surroundings, and I am better able to keep a clear head when confronted with the stresses of everyday life.

 So all in all, writing every day hones a talent that will always be practical in life.  Ray Bradbury, arguably the greatest writer of the twentieth century, claims that he has written something, anything, every day for over seventy years.  It becomes a part of you, and a part that you would never want to let go.  Therefore, if you truly want to succeed in your writing, weather it is for Triond, your blog, or that novel you’re working on, be sure to write every single day.  You will thank yourself for doing so
