Attitude Towards Writing

I’ve never been very enthusiastic about writing and find it to be quite troublesome. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the true value of writing and writing well or enjoy some forms of writing. Penning down ones thoughts and opinions in a way that was originally intended to be viewed by the author and to convey it so that it’s understood by the target audience is a very important skill to master. Writing to me provides a channel to clearly communicate in a way real time speaking can’t. And thus in order to communicate effectively certain rules come to mind like types of words used, phrasing, structure, tone and audience hence my slight pessimism towards writing. I have however been partial to certain positive incentives that come with well written works. Some few obvious like getting good grades and thus passing this credit or how about in the long term like having to write my 10000 word dissertation in a well thought out and structured order to get my PhD. And although I don’t keep a diary and try to keep my emails as short as possible writing is an important part of life and should remain that way.
