Can I find something else to do other than writing? Reading, yes. Listening, yes. But writing, big nono!!
I don’t really remember when I became afraid in writing, even use my first language, I also feel scared about it. For me, writing is like a kind of a serious business. If I wrote down something, it will keep forever and ever, like the evidence, and maybe one day, someone will arrest me because of the piece of the paper, put me in the jail because of my writing, and stay in the jail until I was 80 years old. OH! I need to stop think about the bad things at all!
In one hand, writing is a good way to keep story alive. We know history, geography, mathematics, and science because of someone wrote it, recorded it, and saved it. If no one loves writing, we will loss a lot of fun in reading others’ story and learning new things. Moreover, we can’t read “People” for entertainment!! In the other hand, we can know ourselves better throughout writing. We need to sedate our mood first, and start to think. Every word, sentence and paragraph has their own meanings, and you need to have a good organization skill to pull them all together as well as become a good article. In fact, the writing is much the same as Zen philosophy.
