Why do I write?

I just started this blog this week. I may not have enough followers at the moment or ever. I write for myself.

I struggle with writing every single day. Ever since the 9th grade and my first report was due, I struggled. I do not enjoy writing nor do I purport to be good at it.

So, I write for myself.

Since starting graduate school my professors have said that it is important to write every morning. I went into science because I love the subject but also it had added perks where it did not require many essays. Until graduate school…

I write for myself.

I have to write constantly even though I hate doing so. I hope that even if no one reads my blog, posting will push me to keep going. Just this morning I had to work on an assignment but nothing was coming to mind. I wrote a post and just saying something brought new inspiration and flow, I was able to carry that on to the assignment.

I write for myself.

I hope that I can continue to post daily no matter who reads. First, it will help me to push myself to write. Second, hopefully I can get better. Third, if at least one person is inspired, influenced, touched, helped, encouraged, etc. then I believe it is worth it.

I write for myself but not in a selfish way.

So far I hope you have seen the pattern. My posts will be under the theme  _______ and _________ where there is an influence and an outcome. Stay tuned tomorrow for hobbies and husbands.

So who do I write for?

I write for myself. I write for others. I write for all good things even if it is not to be read.

If a tree falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise?

I will say yes, yes it does.

As always keep the faith
