I Love Creative Writing (Obviously)

I am a girl who has always understood the value of a good notebook, even if some of the first notebooks I considered good were janky ones from the dollar store. Any place to write is a good place to write. I love creative writing, and always have.

The benefits of creative writing are too many to list here, but suffice it to say that creative writing has provided me with an outlet to understand myself in a way that nothing else ever has.

I suppose it’s that way for most artists. When you find the thing that you love doing, it tends to be the way you communicate with the world. And it’s probably the way you communicate with yourself too.

How I Fell in Love with Creative Writing

Falling in love with creative writing was easy for me. I grew up in a house with a mom who read all the time and took us to the library often. My brother and I got as many stories before bed as we wanted and there were always books everywhere.

I love writing because reading was always a priority. Here are some specific reasons why I started writing.

001: It was alone time.

I need more alone time than the average person. Writing provided that alone time while giving me some space to understand myself better.
