Who Should Write?

Consistent writing is advantageous for everyone. Everyone has a reason to write. It does not matter if you are a student, a teacher, a child, a senior citizen, a waitress, an athlete, an actor, or even a mime. Everyone would benefit from writing on a regular basis. The reasons for writing on a regular basis are very fundamental. Remember, if you don't use it you lose it. Writing requires certain "brain muscles" to function and if you don't exercise those muscles regularly you may have to shake off the rust the next time you have to sit down and tackle a number of paragraphs. We all should be writing and if a person chooses not to write, that person will be reminded by life that they should be writing.

Who should be writing? Everyone should be writing. Even athletes should write regularly. An athlete has to keep their training schedule organized and effective. When an athlete writes down how man reps he completed and how much weight he lifted, they can push themselves at the next workout without causing injury. Repetitious writing can help an actor memorize his or her lines. When a student writes down a definition it help them grasp the meaning of a particular word. Networkers write down the names of people they meet to ensure that they have smooth encountering in the future. Who wants to work with someone that does not take the time to remember names?

Writing has proven to be seriously therapeutic. A lot of people find it relaxing to write whatever it is on their mind. Keeping a journal is an excellent way to get your thoughts out. It helps people not lose their temper like a volcano. Writing in your own journal can accommodate the way you express what is really on your mind when you are talking to people. Some may think that writing will just add more stress but many people probably feel that writing in a journal has prevented them from yelling at a person or punching a hole in the wall.

Staying absolutely productive usually requires a lot of writing and rewriting. Whether it is on a chalkboard or on a notepad, writing down the plan of attack is absolutely mandatory for success. If you are the only one at a business meeting not writing anything down, you will find yourself behind the power curve at the next meeting. Keep your favorite pen on you at all times. Check off the boxes on your things-to-do list. Update your calendar. Write down ideas when they come to mind. Your pen is a powerful weapon for victory.

As you can see, there are many reasons that we all should be writing. Our creative juices flow better when we write more often. It is actually really productive because it helps you stay on top of things. It builds momentum and you will have momentum to keep writing. If you have positive momentum in writing, it will carry over the next time you have big project or important assignment to complete.
