Bloganuary # 6 – Write
|
|
Ready to write?Today’s a great day to blog, and the Bloganuary prompt is: Why do you write? |
***
Why do I write? I can’t remember a time when I haven’t been writing. It’s something I have to do every day. It might be a lot, or it might be just a few jots but I will be writing something.
I wrote stories when I was a kid and a teen. I wrote when my kids were young, and got a diploma from a college writing course I took. I like to write short and long fiction, essays, diaries, journals, poems, observations of things and people, and many notes.
In other writing, I like to use pens, pencils, and markers to write with. I like to practice handwriting and printing and different ways to make it look on a page. I like calligraphy writing and play around with that, too. I like paper and notebooks and have lots of them to write on.
I like typewriting, too. I taught myself to write on an old fashioned Underwood manual typewriter when I was in elementary school. I do the touch typing where I don’t have to look at the keys/letters. I took typing in school for quite a few years, just for fun, first on manual typewriters, then on electric ones. I’ve owned several typewriters. I like typing on my computer keyboard, and the more I type the more I like it, it’s good practice.
I would not feel right if I didn’t write.
