Why writing is important?


Writing is what we are, we always write what we are when we write on our free will. There may be times when we have to write within some boundaries but our ‘I’ gets into it somehow and somewhere. Why we are talking about writing and why is it important can be described in a few points laid down below:
  • Writing is the primary basis upon which your work, your learning, and your intellect will be judged—in college, in the workplace, and in the community.
  • Writing expresses who you are as a person.
  • Writing is portable and permanent. It makes your thinking visible.
  • Writing ideas down preserves them so that you can reflect upon them later.
  • Writing helps you move easily among facts, inferences, and opinions without getting confused—and without confusing your reader.
  • Writing promotes your ability to pose worthwhile questions.
  • Writing fosters your ability to explain a complex position to readers, and to yourself.
  • Writing helps others give you feedback.
  • Writing helps you refine your ideas when you give others feedback.
  • Writing requires that you anticipate your readers’ needs. Your ability to do so demonstrates your intellectual flexibility and maturity.
  • Writing out your ideas permits you to evaluate the adequacy of your argument.
  • Writing stimulates you to extend a line of thought beyond your first impressions or gut responses.  
  • Writing helps you understand how truth is established in a given discipline.
  • Writing equips you with the communication and thinking skills you need to participate effectively in democracy.


Whenever you write, write for yourself first. If you do so, you will never do injustice to writing. You may find yourself writing for your organization but never forget that you have a free spirit as well and of course the free media, social media.
