Why Do I Write? Well to tell you the truth I don't do a lot of writing outside of school. However when something is on my mind and no one is around for me to talk to I have to write my thoughts down! Whether I'm writing of a scrap piece of paper or sending pages of letters to a friend on facebook or in the mail. I'm not the kind of person to keep my feeling bottled up. I like to write when I have a lot on my mind or when I know that I'm dealing with a personal issue that no one else can relate to. After writing for an hour I feel like I have released so much that I just needed to get out of my system. I have always enjoyed writing...well I'm not a fan of big essays but I love looking back on my work and thinking wow this is pretty good did I really come up with this? Not saying I'm an amazing writer I do need a lot of work but its fun to see how far youve come. My middle brother Jake is a very big writer and My oldest brother Zach is a big reader and they both had a big influence on me while I was growing up. They were always there to inspire me to write more creativley and read in a more fun way (Zach used to sing my bedtime stories to me).
I feel like I could most relate to Didion because she likes to write to recall events in her life and thats what I like to remember. Its fun to look back on your old journals or scrapbooks, you get to recall all these great memories that you may have forgotten. They are also great family conversations! One of my favorite quotes from Didion that I agree with is...
- "In many ways writing is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind."

Hannah, it IS really fun to go back and look at old journals and scrapbooks! It's amazing what you have forgotten. I totally agree with what you said about why you write and feel the same way about my own writing.
ReplyDeleteHannah,
ReplyDeleteI agree with lots of the ways that you describe why you write. I also feel like I have released so much after writing! It's definitely a good way to vent when you can't really relate to anyone else about something. I like your ideas, good job!
Much love,
Emily
