The Art of Writing

I titled my post “the art of writing” because I do think that writing is a form of art. Let’s be honest writing is not an easy process for most people. Personally, for me it takes time and a bit of inspiration to write. I always try to put myself in the shoes of the reader. I ask myself, will the reader interpret the message correctly? I like to write a couple of paragraphs and then read over them to edit. Sometimes, if I’m not in a rush, I will put my writing project away for a day or two. That way I can read over it and hopefully catch any mistakes that were not easy to identify before. There are also some external factors that affect my ability to write… The time of the day, my mood, noise, stress level… I just have to get myself in the right frame of mind and then… The words, ideas, they just start to flow.
