I've never actually asked myself " Why do I, Zachary Marcus Mitchell, write?" I hadn't really felt the need to even explain to myself why I do. I was so entranced by the satisfaction I had found through writing, I never felt the need to question it. without really thinking about it, I found the reason I write.
For some it maybe the world they escape to or the "person" they tell everything. Maybe they just don't have the ability to express their feelings, without pen and paper. I write to feel the satisfaction of the spot light. Even if I don't have the spotlight, I feel satisfied because I'm confident in my ability. I write to be heard, to even show off a lil' bit. But through the want of being praised, I write to guide others with my experiences.
This craft brings me joy unlike any other but, with that, I still feel the need to tell myself who I am. I write until I feel I've gotten what I needed to say, out. I write to find myself. Each story, each passage, each note, I step closer to finding me.
I'm so happy you're in this class, Zac. Your leadership is going to be put to good use in here and I'm digging the confidence you have in your expression through words. I can't wait to see what you create in here. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really good. I think its cool that u say every time u write a story, passage, note that you get closer to finding who you are.
ReplyDeleteConfidence in what you write is definitely very cool. And that you write in hopes to guide others with your experience is very selfless and noble. Way cool bro.
ReplyDeleteThank you, glad you like it. Yeah, I do step closer, mostly because I favor the first-person past tense, p.o.v. I can just make the characters or the settings feel like I feel.
