Journey Explained Vol. 2




A couple of days ago, my post was about my writing journey this year.

I posted several consequences of writing for 245 days in a row...


What happens when you write for 245 days in a row?

Below take an in-depth look at three of the many that I have noticed.


Your writing becomes a mirror for you.

You take more and more risks in your writing.


You learn about yourself as a writer.

1. Your writing becomes a mirror for you.

If your writing is truly honest, you will be able to see the real you as you look deep within the words that you create.  You will notice the things that make you who you are.  You will also notice your beliefs, your strengths, and weaknesses.  If you are lucky, you will certainly see your own writer's evolution.

2. You take more and more risks in your writing.

When writing daily, you become less intimidated by your thoughts and your words.  You become more honest and will to try on...being a bit more real as time and writing moves along.  When you reach a certain point, your comfort level gets to the point that your authentic writer-self will allow you to write from your soul, not from you mind alone.

3.  You learn about yourself as a writer.

All writers have a "style" to their words and writing.  Some are good, some not so good.  Regardless, it is your style.  You also are able to reflect on where you feel your next steps for growth as a writer exist as you see things in your writing patterns that can use growth or refining.

Writing is a process.  Writing is a reflection.  The more we can become aware of the "ME" in writing, we can become mindful of who we are and see opportunities for growth.

Be Mindful.

Peace.
