The Benefits of Writing

As I reflect upon this past year, I have realized that I have learned a lot about writing in the recent past. The more I write, the more confidence I gain as a writer.

I enjoy writing fiction because it allows me to explore the unfamiliar. I write characters unlike myself and I have them participate in activities I would not normally engage in. I also discover skills in my writing that I didn’t know were in me.
