You cannot force yourself to write. Like you, I started with diaries. Many of them and then I used to write short stories and then I was writing my deepest thoughts and concerns in a simple notebook, I kept well hidden in my room.<br /><br />To me, writing is a way of life and I'm glad you write, M!

I used to do that in college with journal in hand writing key words that I'd turn into poems or short stories or even a paining. It's a hungry state always looking for something and gobbling up everything you can. That's at least one reason I write so I can keep feeling that feeling. That sounds a little nutty. But we're in a judge free zone. Cause writers are nutty lot. I hope you get a chance to vacation at the sea again, Athina!<br /><br />Happy flying!!robgirlbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398614063792587098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903506778843918994.post-49958089728522501132015-07-22T12:57:47.893+03:002015-07-22T12:57:47.893+03:00I love this.

As I grew up I began to feel more complex feelings, and when I couldn't deal with them they came pouring out into my diary, and somehow it evolved from a journal to a long list of ramblings. <br /><br />Lately though, I've began to wonder whether writing is therapeutic or harmful. It brings all the thoughts to the surface, making them tangible, forcing you to analyse them; and sometimes overthinking is what ruins everything.<br /><br />But I guess after reading this I like writing again, if only for sharing thoughts to other people through the expression of words on a page. I don't think I can ever stop because just like paper work, thoughts need to be organised too.<br /><br />-M<br /><a href="http://thelyfoflittleme.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">The Life of Little Me</a>Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03487894789971938605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903506778843918994.post-34877009606831267922015-07-22T10:57:14.265+03:002015-07-22T10:57:14.265+03:00That's a very good reason.

I agree, we never know what will ever happen with the books we write, but we put a little stone in the pyramid it's called life. <br />Keep creating, Jen. <br />Thanks for stopping by. :)Athinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485560779521386981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903506778843918994.post-14019584968951594122015-07-22T04:46:59.055+03:002015-07-22T04:46:59.055+03:00Creating stuff.

Literature is a great way to leave a legacy, even if it doesn't end up getting published. The thought of someone out there relating to my writing and actually liking it someday is just very uplifting. <br /><br />- Jen @ <a href="http://thebookavid.blogspot.de/" rel="nofollow"> Th Bookavid</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732849096161512735noreply@blogger.com
