Write Club Prompt #7

Why Write

I write because I need to process these thoughts and emotions. It’s a challenge to figure out what I want to say. A challenge to myself to find the truth buried under the layers of self doubt. I want to uncover what is hiding inside of me. But why not keep a journal? Keep it private and not worry about things getting out. I’ve tried that before and I can’t stick to it. The idea that someone else might read this forces me to focus and search for the best way to describe how I’m feeling. To craft the best writing possible.

Another benefit. When I plan to write I focus more on my day to day life. I try to find some experience to write about and how I will describe it. Now I just need to start doing some more interesting things to write about.
