Writing: Why It's So Important
'Writing is Thinking. On Paper'
I have been a firm follower of this statement for years. Whatever your thoughts may be, there's no better way to express them other than writing them down. When you write, you stimulate an inner part of your brain, which drives you to get the words on your mind on the blank paper. Perhaps when you are thinking, you may not get a clear idea on a topic. But when you try to write it down, the words just tumble out, as if they've waiting to be written.
That's what happens in my case.
When I write, I tend to express myself more clearly. This blog, for example.
I had no idea what to write about writing, but when I touched my fingers on the keyboard, words simply started rushing out, fighting to get out off my mind first.
Words are everything. Our lives depends on words, furthermore, it gives shape to our life.
This article is just for that.

All the Best!
I am starting to write after being a bibliophile for a year, because I was fascinated by the wild imagination, the beautiful description and style, and the effective communication by the authors. Frankly speaking, the only thing that hinders me is perfectionism. I'm quite different from you because sometimes I just couldn't type out a single satisfying sentence without typing and untyping and retyping them over and over, pondering deeply over the sentence structure, the words, the grammar and more. That really upsets me, because my confidence erode away till a point where I doubted myself, "Maybe I'm just not for writing.". And when I see you, Manasi and your writing, I was impressed and even more inspired when I read this article. Looking back (imaginatively) at my ripped work dumbed somewhere in the recycle factory, I discover I could start again, but this time liberated from shackles of perfectionism around my wrist.
