Why is it important to write?

Question

Real answers please. I mean writing in general, from in class essays to writing in a diary to short stories.

Answer 1

If one wishes to do anything well, it must be practiced. Sport teams practice regularly in the hopes of becoming better. Those who play musical instruments must begin with the basics and build on those skills. Writing is a form of self expression. It is a way to pull thoughts from our minds and place them in a forum that others can share. Many feel that man's greatest ability is the ability to think. Writing is a way to express those thoughts. I'm sure you have heard, "The pen is mightier than the sword." What mankind writes down becomes...in many ways...permanent. Writing an essay in a class shows how much knowledge about a subject someone has. You can always guess at a true or false answer or even a multiple choice one. However, to write a well developed essay means that the student not only has learned what the class has discussed but has developed his own thoughts about the issue.

Answer 2

It's practice so you can communicate more clearly in forums like this one, for one thing. I notice that you seem to be able to spell and punctuate so we actually know what you're saying. Either you used spell-check, or your writing class has done you some good. Knowing how to organize your thoughts and ideas on paper can only do you good in the long run. Most of the careers you might find yourself in will find you having to write something down at some point, and if you don't know how to write you make yourself look like an under-educated idiot and your credibility drops. And sometimes writing is just fun. Have you ever just let your imagination run wild and written a story just for the heck of it? Stories on paper are not limited by special effects budgets or length the way movies are.
