Writing for the Fun of It

Posted on November 6th, 2008 in Writing by Karelee

Putting our thoughts for those to see has been found not only in caves but God chose to write the ten commandments on a rock,so you see… it’s in our DNA. We may not become famous from our writings but we can be creative and the best part…. just write for the fun of it.

Whether you have written a famous novel or just love to email your friends… writing will always be an emotional outlet for the world to see. From drawings in caves to text messaging your friends on your phone.. we have a need to put our thoughts in writing. The strange thing is our thoughts go into a different pattern when we choose to write rather than speak… which for some is a good thing. It also allows the person to peak their creativity and also see their thoughts and be able to change what ever doesn’t look or feel right… unlike words. You know the ol’ saying.. “You can’t unring a bell!” or “OOOPS.. I heard it when you did!” There have even been many songs about “Love letters” because most of them were so beautifully written and it also allowed the recipient of the letter to be able to hold and read them over and over again and feel the exact same emotion they felt the first time they opened it. I’m sure they have exchanged “I love you’s” many times but there is something special about putting your words in writing.

Did their letter make the number one best sellers list?? Probably not but was just as powerful to it’s reader as any book you’ll ever read. Just like the “Love letters” there have also been many “Dear John letters” and unfortunately they may also be read over and over again. They are not just words any more but something that you can hold and be able to feel great emotion every time you read it and also allows you to say your thoughts without any interruptions. When someone loses a loved one… the one thing that they will cherish forever is on paper whether it is a card or a child’s drawing… it will be handled with such care and heartache. When a child has had any kind of emotional or physical abuse they ask the child to put it on paper. One of the most famous of all was called “The Diary of Anne Frank” and has been read by many. Writing not only allows us to put our thoughts and emotions on paper but actually allows the reader to pick up on our emotions. Most of us when we speak it’s a signal sent from the brain and sometimes we don’t give it enough thought time before we actually throw it out there and it doesn’t come out quite the way we wanted it to but if we write our thoughts down then we usually speak from the heart. Almost anyone who has had to speak in public has had their speech written out and will either use notes or have it memorized.

Everyone is a writer…. so if you are writing now… Great!! Keep it up and if you’re not than sit down and start writing. I’m not asking you to write a book or a presidential speech but to just put your emotions into writing. It may feel a little awkward at first but you will soon love the freedom of speech… even if you are the only one to ever read it. Now.. just to be fair.. speaking is very important and can be done quite well I might add.. and we certainly don’t want to read everything someone has to say. In fact we will do much more speaking than writing most days but it’s knowing when and how we feel is the best way to express our feelings and thoughts. Picking up the phone to call someone you haven’t seen in a long time is great and let them hear your voice and exchange small talk… than later send them a note to let them know how much you enjoyed the conversation and as they read it they will hear your voice in your words. Trust me.. they will cherish that note and keep it close and even pick it up from time to time to just read it again. Well… I’ve got to let you go so you can start writing..Have fun and enjoy!!

Karelee, I hope people don’t miss out on the HUGE point you make here, the enduring nature of written comments. There is a certain flavor to words that stays with us. I know verbal words are powerful as well, but when thoughts and feelings are put into writing they are preserved exact and in tact for all to see. That’s what makes the Bible such a significant book, the history of God’s interactions with humankind. And isn’t it interesting that Jesus himself is referred to as the Word?

Writing is very therapeutic. After talking with many people I find that almost all wrtiers kept a diary or journal when they were young. I didn’t keep a diary but still, no one ever read my writing…not until I started writing at Triond.

I entirely agree with Brian Daniel Stankich’s comments.

I enjoyed this article very much, Karlee.

Great job.

This was so much fun to read, and so very true! Writing is such a good outlet for expressing feelings and thoughts!
As a nurse, for years I wrote nursing notes, weekly and monthly summaries, etc, and always wanted to write just for the fun of it. Thank God for Triond and all the wonderful writers and readers here!

What you say to me makes me think that writing is to speech what a photo is to sight. It’s a snapshot of your thoughts and emotion caught in time. There is probably also a bunch of other parallels too – like framing, focus etc.

Thanks for sharing – it’s made me look at writing in a different light.
