How often do you write what you truly feel (do you express better on paper)?

Writing - Self expression on paper...

I love to write . I love to do it so much that after a while i couldnt talk. What i mean is it was hard for me to express how I felt verbally. I could only get all of my thoughts out on paper. That was a big problem that I had to fix when I got married. Do you happen to write much or express much better on paper?

I have always been shy and found it easier to express myself better in writing. When I talk, the words usually rush out and I often don't make the point I meant to, or forget what it was entirely! When you write, you can take time to think about what you want to say and edit when necessary! It also can spare hurt feelings when someone makes you angry. I found it does help to write letters expressing my feelings, and then tear it up and throw it away.

i also love to write what i feel for the moment. when i was in my teenage year, i used to write in my diaries (w/ padlocks, you know) about my crushes and adventures. i have a collection of my diaries in big box until now. however, i discovered blogging. now, i logged all my happenings and events in my blog (www.naysli.blogspot.com).

I Love to Write and always looking for ways to earn off my Writing, and would Love to become a published author in time as well. Writing down your thoughts and feelings is something I have found to be a Great stress reliever as well.

I write in a notebook when I need to but i also do blogging as well. But of course, I love creating stories so I may create a story on a character and base the character on how my emotional level.

It is easier to say certain things in writing. Or to certain people. When I write lyrics, poems, and articles I can say things that normally I can't get out. It is really easy in fiction because I can do it through a character. It helps me get it out without exploding and saying something I regret. On the other hand, it is easier to tell certain people I love them or how strong I care about them in writing verses verbally.
