Writing is as necessary as breathing for some


Writing for some of us is as necessary as breathing. 

Writing as a form of self discovery, spending time everyday writing down thoughts uninhibited by checking spelling, grammar, sentence structure or who will read it in the future.

Virginia Woolf was the pioneer of this type of writing - stream of consciousness writing. 

She wrote this way to discover her characters, writing to understand them better.

Today writing through stream of consciousness is also called brain dumping and it is described as a great way to begin your day and other say it is a great way to end the day and clear your mind for sleep.

What I know is that writing is necessary and I have been keeping a journal for the past 50 years, and through my writing I have come to know myself to be the person I am.
