The Wonderful World of Writing

Lately I've been trying out different writing styles.
I find that there's always room for more learning.
Though I've pretty much established what kind of
writing I do best, I still have fun writing different.
I compare it to ice cream flavors. I know it's pretty
random but what can I say, I'm a random person.
Even though there's always that one flavor I love,
I always end up trying out a new flavor every time.
Same with writing, I sometimes write personal and
sometimes general. Sometimes my posts are happy
or thoughtful and sometimes they're deep and sad.
I realize that I write different depending on my mood,
and it's harder for me to write about my personal
experiences compared to general experiences in life.
Though it may seem odd to most people, for me writing
about writing helps my mind open and ease into the
words a bit. At first, whenever I would write, it would
be completely formal. I would make sure that everything
I wrote made sense and that the reader of that post would
be blown away by my writing. Then I would do revisions
upon revisions trying to make it the best. Soon, I realized
that this wasn't me. I wasn't writing an essay, report, or
even an article. Why did I care so much? Little by little I
adjusted to posting on a blog, and stopped caring so much
about whether people would like it or not. I started adding
more "me" into my writing, I wasn't trying to be the perfect
person I wasn't, I was writing with no second thoughts at all,
not even revising it apart from the spelling mistakes. As soon
as I did that, I found the true joy of writing. Not writing to
impress, but writing to express. I discovered much about
myself through writing. It showed me how self-conscious I was
and how it's really not that necessary. It showed me a way to
escape from everything just for a while and above all, writing
showed me that I can do anything as long I put my heart to it.
I am so happy I was introduced to the Wonderful World of Writing.
