Writing is The Painting of The Voice: Portraying My Passion

Writing is my passion and I agree with the French philosopher, Voltaire, “Writing is the painting of the voice.” I love being able to express my opinion and influencing those who read my writing. My thoughts revolutionizing into narratives, poems and diary entries give me the utmost fulfillment. 

Writing is my remedy after a stressful day that helps me relax and unwind. Writing down what you are thankful for is also proven to help you sleep better. Challenges I face while writing are that sometimes I will isolate myself for hours because my train of thought doesn’t stop; I won’t eat or take a bathroom break. Another challenge I face is finding the time to write. When I’m writing, I sometimes feel anxious because I worry about what my teacher or peers will think of my work. 

I may also be confused at times if I don’t know how exactly I want to start my piece. Making rough drafts are crucial for writers. I enjoy writing about controversy and politics because I always have an opinion on large-scale issues. Asking for feedback and handling criticism well are my strengths. Sitting in a comfy chair in my pajamas with a pen and paper makes me ecstatic. Writing is everywhere and applies to almost every aspect of your life. At home, you may be writing a note in a birthday card. Essays, narratives, and lab reports are the writing-related school activities. At work, if you want to write up a colleague, you need to have the writing skills to outline the issue, explain why you are lodging a complaint, provide a series of events and state a possible remedy to fix the issue. If you are writing a love letter to your significant other, you want to be able to spell and make sure you know the rules of grammar because not knowing the difference between your and you’re is a huge turn-off. Writing will bring out the best of me in my life in many ways: It clears my mind, helps me recollect old memories, and it’s a great mental exercise. 

Writing is a preventative measure against illnesses like dementia or Alzheimer's. Writing in relation to school and English class in general, will bring out the best in me because studies have proven that frequently writing can improve critical analysis, content recollection and writing outcomes.

Overall, writing is a lovely passion or hobby, depending on how you look at it, but the beauty of it is that you can write at any age and it initially doesn’t cost you more than a piece of paper and a pencil.
