Careers in Writing

Most students despise writing in High School. I'd like to let you in on a little secret however...

THAT'S NOT WRITING!!!

Now, it is writing in the fact that you are typing words. Yes. But it's not really writing.

Writing should always come from the heart. Writing a bland research paper on a couple poems or a summer reading book does not count. Not even close.

Real writing, expressive writing, should be written because you enjoy writing it.

Writing comes in many different forms. **Spoiler Alert** Writing is more than just books and English papers.

 Blogging, for instance is a sort of online journal. Catharsis in writing form. Many people find it very enjoyable to have a blog and write about their everyday life, attracting fans and followers.

Another great writing opportunity is a screenwriter. Ever thought your everyday daydreams and fantasized comebacks could make you money? Believe it or not, your favorite tv shows and sitcoms are made not by the actors, but by writers. It is writing and the English language that has you buckling over with laughter or sobbing with emotion.

Bottom line, writing doesn't always have to be painstaking. Real writing can be a fun and healthy way to relieve stress. Also, not procrastinating does help in making it seem more enjoyable.

I challenge you to take twenty minutes, thats 1/1440th of your day, and try a little bit of creative writing. See how you like it.
