Cheers to Writing

Here is a fun way to spruce up your relationship with your writing; handwritten notes! Sometimes, when I'm at home and I feel that I haven't been getting any special time with my husband, and I want to feel close to him, I write him little love notes.

This is important, because there are different ways of describing different things, because you focus on detail in a different way. It also involves making choices about things that speak to the writer, who plans on recreating this item/person/place/event with word...

But later, it took on an artistic element that has come to appeal to the emotional and creative side of human beings. Today, writing is considered an art that only few have mastered or are gifted with it's expressions and demands on one's time. I want to focus more on the therapeutic nature of composing something. Just writing a simple note or letter to someone to tell them that you care or express something you cannot muster the strength to say, can do wonders. Writing is an extension of a person; what we say defines us and who we are, and despite what many people say or think, words have a tremendous amount of power, and can be used to destroy, create, or build something or even someone. So if someone tells you that writing is useless or not as important as other things, you should take the time to point out the following: 1. ...
