The Importance of Writing When I was asked to write about "writing" I was immediately excited. My excitement was not just because I love to write, but because there were so many ways I could approach the subject of writing; all of which allowed me to be imaginative! I chose the "importance of writing" because writing is an essential part of my life, whether it is my blog, expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, or in my professional field as a virtual assistant. Writing is important because it gives many of us the ability to express a thought and deliver information, using words or symbols. In the simplest manner, writing is: words and symbols on paper. We have grown considerably from the old way of jotting out letters, essays and greeting cards. Writing is involved and evolving: we text, email and utilize blogging as well as other types of social media to get our messages out there for others. We now write on a MacBook, IPad, Laptop, and Smartphones. Conveying the Important Information. Have you ever attempted to express an opinion or provide information about a subject but didn't know where to begin? Outlining your ideas, thoughts seems like a daunting task for some; myself included some days. However, if I begin by brainstorming and developing various aspects of my topic, I find I have a lot of information. Then I can begin to research all the diverse aspects of my subject that help me solidify my writing objectives. What is The Important Objective in Writing? The ultimate goal or objective of any writing is to ignite a particular reaction from the audience. The way in which you use the words in the composition determines the response of the reader. What response are you hoping to receive? Whether writing to advertise, educate, deliver a speech or entertain; the way in which you choose to present the topic is important. Determine the type of audience you intend to attract. Research and brainstorm any topic and write, just don't forget to rewrite; it's not as in-depth as you may think, and it pays off in the end. Writing does not require you to be a creative genius or literary scholar. All you need is the ability to convey a thought or emotion in the form of words. I often find myself writing articles, advertisements, call- to- actions, and blogs, for those who deem themselves incapable. It is not that they don't have the ability but that they don't know where to start. Begin by writing down the subject matter of your composition that may consist of a compilation of thoughts, research and statistical data. Once you have completed this process, you can start to build your final piece from there. My advice is to write from the heart even when including all other information. My joy of writing comes when I write using my voice and emotions coupled with all other data. It's that personal quality that makes my writing important to me; it's authentic, easily understood by others and just maybe in time, it will have importance and give hope and encouragement to someone else to find the importance of writing. Just Write!!! |
