    I’ve never been a writer, I’m a nurse by career. I began this little blog as a hobby and I do find writing to be relaxing. Plus it keeps me out of the local boutiques and off of amazon prime (most of the time)! I didn’t really think of all of these other benefits.

    This is just on point. Writing is my passion and the cure to my depression. 🙂

    I love writing by hand and I totally agree with you, in such a technological world it needs to be preserved. Very good article!

    I’ve always loved writing but as an adult when I had kids and a career that took up my free time I kind of developed a writers blooms from being overwhelmed and I couldn’t get anything out. My family moved To Lana’i this year and the quiet and peacefulness of this place has finally lifted my 10 year block!

    I totally agree! When I started writing again about a year ago I can definitely see I’ve started improving again and mentally I feel a lot better too. Love this post because it kind of reminds me of all the good things about writing.

    Great points. Writing is amazing. You release your thoughts on paper so they longer plague you. I’ve been writing creatively since I was 11. It makes me happy. Great read!

    The beginning of this post reminded me so much of when I was little! I constantly started new stories, wrote a bunch of poems and at one point even a “book” which I was so proud of when I was 12 although it was really cringe-y. Even now, writing helps me get out of a slump and work through problems. At least half of my blog posts is me working through the topic I am writing about – it’s really therapeutic.

      Yes, it’s definitely therapeutic and worth doing, even if it’s for your eyes only.

    I definitely agree- Writing is like my release and my therapy. I love when I can get into writing on my blog and everything else- all my other issues or stresses of the moment- fade into the background.

    I love this! I have found that writing my blog has helped me in so many areas to include my mood, getting out and doing more, and even having something in my small talk arsenal.

    Thanks for sharing. I’ve had writer’s block for the longest while with writing my short stories and I recently resolved to just start writing and see where it goes from there.

    Writing is probably the healthiest activity that I take part in. I would do it even if no one ever read a word of what I said because it does so much for me internally that that alone is worth it.

    Nice article, thanks for sharing it with us! Writing is definitely something more people should do! I wrote a piece about blogging which is actually quite similar: https://www.mywritingcorner.net/2019/06/05/should-i-start-a-blog/ letting your inner self be expressed through writing, in whatever form you can is good for many different reasons!

    I too find writing therapeutic, it helps me filter rational thought from irrational one.

    Thank you for the excellent article. I would just add that
    for those of us with dexlysia (74 years and going strong!) Using a computer can be a game changer. All those thoughts locked inside because it is too hard to write all those letters down in the right order, take flight and soar!
