Writing

When I tell people that I like writing, they look at me like how can someone enjoy sitting and writing? Well, for me, it is quite simple as it is something that I like doing, and it makes me happy. For me, sitting either at my computer or using my tablet for notes and simply writing on paper, I enjoy getting the various notes down.

For me, writing can be an escape from what is going on around me, especially when I sit and work on some of the little stories that I have been trying to move forward. These little story ideas that I have gives me a chance to explore different thoughts and ideas, and maybe one day I will have some stories that I will post somewhere. It would be nice if I could find some more time to focus on the stories because I have some that are slowly getting moved forward while others are just sitting with little notes made. One day, I will work on these stories and will see what happens to each of them.

I do enjoy writing for work and that is something that helps others. I am a trainer and documentor, so that means I am writing the different courses and manuals, as well as guidelines. It makes me happy when I can someone understand and learn from what I have been able to write. When I am talking to someone in the IT profession, and I mention, and I love writing, they really look at me odd because most people in IT don’t like writing documentation.

Another way that I get to enjoy my writing is through the different blogs that I write. When I look at the amount of writing that I do, it makes me happy. I have two blogs that I write, and they are both different as one is craft related and the other one is this blog. I then also write for our company blog, so that is again written differently. It makes me happy to see that I can write blogs and each of them have a different focus.

Writing is something that makes me happy and when I can’t sit and get the words out of my head, I start to get frustrated because I know that there are words that just wanting to come out. One thing that I have found that helps me get more writing done is to put my ear buds in without any music playing, and it gives me the quiet that I need sometimes to get the words flowing again. 

Writing for me is something that I enjoy doing and if I can assist someone by teaching them something or even getting to think differently about something I am happy. Write to me is what I do and if people can’t understand why I love doing this, it’s ok because at least I know I am doing what makes me happy.
