Writing More... ?

We have the mistake of thinking

that writing has to be a certain way,

when this is clearly not so

because anyone literate

with access to the Internet

can write a web log.

I notice that many friends

who write things

on a website write rarely.

I even do it a lot of the time.

And, I understand that some

of us just don't think to do it

most of the time.

But, I honestly think

sometimes that

I shouldn't waste my time

and other's time

when I sign in and look at the

blank post on my monitor.

What do I have to say?

What do people want to hear?

Those are reasonable things to think,

but I don't think

always asking

ourselves these questions

helps anyone.

We don't get anything out of it

for writing it

and others can tell

when a friend

is not sharing who they actually are.

Writing is ingrained into us.

It should be natural and not judged upon

for "errors" or

whatever they may be called.

It's hard to say,

"You said what you're thinking wrong,"

unless you're not really listening.

It's more important just to ask

what someone meant

by what they wrote.

Well, I'm not

that intelligent and

I didn't think any of this

by my own thought process.

I read it in a tiny book

about writing as second-nature.

I forget what it's called,

but I'll find it and put it on the side bar.

Maybe a little realization

of people appreciating my blog

(for what reason, who knows)

helped my mind also.

Anyways, my point is:

All of you that write

on your blogs

please write more!

I love reading whatever it is you express,

especially when it's about an honest portrayal

of your thoughts and emotions.

It makes me smile.

And for someone who is depressed a lot of the time,

not making me smile is a pretty messed up thing

to do to someone in my circumstances.

shalom.
