For me it means being writing on something which be a form of a career, sub career or just for the sake of it. Writing also means expressing an idea or thinking to the world without worrying being commented badly (as long as you know your limits).
Exactly. Writing is a medium of expression, a way to relate to the world. That was a good comment.
Writing to me means relaxing into a world of thoughts and processes that tell stories, and if in the process I am helping others to learn and expand their horizons then I have done my job as a writer.
That is a very cool answer. Writing is always about expressing yourself and making others learn from what you wrote, you are writing and you will be writing.
Writing means being creative, good grammar, stories, and poems. It is a form of art and self-expression, for your own enjoyment or sharing. It also means communicating with others and in business.
Thanks for the answer. your definition speaks about what we really want from writing and how we want it to affect others.
For me, it's a way of expressing my thoughts, my ideas, my feelings, and everything that I can't actually say with my own lips. It's most of the time, my outlet. I'm angry, I write. I'm sad, I write. I'm happy, I write. I don't want to hurt people just because I'm hurting so I write. I don't want to make people sad just because I'm feeling low so I write. Sometimes, I tend to speak much when I am so happy to the point that people get irritated and I don't want that to happen all the time so I write. ~~^^
that is a very nice answer. Writing is a way to vent out your emotions.

Do you write only to get published and earn money or for self expression?

My godfather died last Friday, aged only 61, and I'm trying to write a letter to my godmother. Such a bloody awful thing to try to write, to convey real love and sympathy without sounding trite or patronising.

Why do you write? Why is it important for artist to make art and for writers to write?Do you think, we as writers, artists, musicians make a difference to our world?I, for one, did not grow up in an environment that encourages and rewards creativity. In my world, it seems far more important to have...

What does 'writing' mean to you?For me it is the actual 'me', a reflection of myself. Few lines of poems I write in between. I don't even publish them. They are a true reflection of myself

Today no author writes using a pen, but they are expressing themselves by using keyboards. Then why we know them as writers?
