hello friends, Writing can be deeply therapeutic experience. With a pen and paper in hand we can,help ourselves cope with grief, gain perspective, and resolve complex issues and decisions. Maintaining a book of personal writing, can serve us as a best friend or counsellor. Provided we should be honest,remembering that, it is not meant for audience but for ourselves. Friends ,what do you think about writing? Do you have the habit of writing? and please share the other benefits.

Well, I agree with you, in a certain aspect. That is, to write in a certain way, it gives you a chance to pull out what you have inside, and therefore to be able to express freely. I still want to add a note to your question. In the age of email, of computers, palmtop, in your opinion, would not now be a good time to give up pen and paper and write Im a digital manner, as we are already doing all of us, like Mylot user?

Hi! Yes, you are correct that 'writing' our own experiences could be very useful and could bring some good results. However, now a days, people have stopped 'writing' with a pen and a paper (read diary). They have their laptops, i-pads, tablets, mobile phones and PCs. Whatever they write, they write in the electronic form (and there is always a danger of the same vanishing due to technical problems). Having said that I do not maintain any diary as such. Mylot discussions are a kind of diary for me. I know there are some web-sites where you could write a diary and only you could see what you have written. Do you write diary for your record?

I think here you mean something like diary writing. It is good to have a written version of things happening in your life but sometimes it can be hard to keep it secret from others and there are high chances that it will be read by someone in sometime or another. There for me I prefer not to keep writings of my life and my thought. I try to go in flash back and remember things but I will not have it written. Otherwise I like writing here. My speed is just increased so much that it takes me to write posts fast within less time compared to before. Just yesterday some friends of my husband had come and i was on mylot and they were surprised how fast I typed... thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

I agree with you on this. Writing does help, it is like talking to a person, but you just write it one paper... it is a good medicine indeed if one is overwhelmed by feelings since writing it out will help release it. One does not even need to be good at it.

Angry or sad, you can also express your feelings through writing if you can not say it face to face just to ease the load. Writing could also be a tool in helping other people because it gives them inspiration and hope.

Writing is really a great art and we will forget about our problems and worries while concentrating in writing. I am interested in writing various things, it will give more fun and pleasure to me. As we know "Pen is Mightier than Sword", so we can change a lot of things with our writings. The main weapon of a Journalist is his pen and he change a lot of things with it. He have the ability to change a government too with the power of writing. We must write honest things and give good things to our readers. We can write anything and every thing as per our wish, some persons have writing as their hobby and wrote a lot of good articles with their creativity. A good writer have the ability to change a bad person in to a good one with his writing, as well as he can change the society with his good writing skills. He can make a great impact in the people's mind with his powerful words and make a great revolution in the world. Writer must be honest and write good things to make a good change in the world. Writing will give peace of mind to us. Some persons are interested in writing diary and wrote their day to day activities in their journal. They will remember their past and cherish their sweet memories while reading this journals, with this writings we can remember about the past easily. Writing is having a lot of benefits and it is really hard to list out all of them.

I totally agree with you!! Writing is definitely therapeutic, not only can you express yourself with words but you can also make decisions using a pro and con list. Sometimes it's easier for me to write things down than to verbally express myself. I sometimes don't like confrontations, so writing my thoughts down is better. Sometimes I use these notes to help me when I do have to confront someone. Also, I like to write and do research. When you have to research something that you're going to write you can learn and even broaden your mind.
