what goes on in a writers mind?

I am not a writer by any stretch of the imagination. But when I feel down, I feel that I am bursting with emotions. Sometimes the only way to let off steam is by writing it down. I'm sure that a lot of people feel the same way. The only problem is, a lot that go through these roller coaster ride suddenly think that they are writers! Although some develop this into talent, most just wallow in a sea of amatuer-writing. So yes, this could be a rite of passage. That as soon as one gets off the shallow depressing topics, then they could become real writers. -wallowing bounce

It is a matter of style, some of the greatest poets in the world write of dismal things. Other always write about positive things, and still others write according to their mood.

feel writing is a way out. To let some thought out and leave room for more. I feel a little lighter when I write anything. If I write something heavy I feel super light so it is like a form of therapy.

I have found that writing is a great stress reducer. Even if it no more than a list of pros and cons it will cure the busy mind that doesn't want to let go. When I blog, I try to espress ideas, which may not be new but I hope will get others thinking. It's true that we are bombarded with gloom and doom. This is what makes a happy writing so refreshing. Let's try to pass this around as often as possible.
