Writing for the Humanities and the Arts

What is Writing?

For me writing is like any other form of artistic expression, like painting and maybe making music, a lot of feeling and thought goes into it. You can express things that you might not now other people are experiencing but once read by someone they might be able to relate. Writing is timeless a piece can be interpreted similarly or completely different as time passes by. Writing other than being creative expression is clear thinking, if you can learn to organize your thoughts and put them in paper in a concise manner, you become better at thinking, for me good writing is good and critical thinking. Writing has no limits, just like a painting you’re allowed to create your own little world with a different set of rules from the real one but unlike a painting the readers are allowed more freedom to formulate their own view of the world your trying to portray. Writing is arguably fun, communicative, enriching and powerful.
