Why Do I Write?
August 29, 2006
My rambling thoughts in my runaway mind goes thru topics at the rate of 10 topics per given second. I have no clear idea what I am thinking of at any given time. I will be thinking of one thing this second, something totally different at the very next.
Writing lets my mind relax. It forces my mind to focus on whatever it is I am writing about. My mind still wanders, but at least it wanders at a slower rate. It is not running in ten different directions at one time. Imagine a hyperactive kid with too much sugar. That is what happens in my head. At least with writing, my head is still a kid with ADD, but minus the sugar. More manageable.
I’ve tried blogging a couple of times. My blogs died. For whatever reasons. But now, I hope to write more. More for myself than anyone else. I hope to gain from its therapeutic benefits. Or so people say..
