Writing quotes- featured image

Let all the mess in your mind be on paper and set yourself free.

Writing is one of the best ways to communicate with people and yourself. There are mainly two kinds of writing- formal and informal. Formal one includes that is a part of your professional life. One needs to have a good command of language, rules, and regulations. Here, writing has its all importance. However, informal writing is great fun. So many thoughts keep cluttering our minds, and when we do not do something about it, life becomes unstable. Putting it all on paper is one of the most incredible ways to declutter it, rendering you more focused.

Many people fear writing stuff as they only consider authors and professional writers. But the reality is otherwise. Writing is straightforward and all about letting your thoughts express on paper or through the keyboard on a computer. It is one of the arts that doesn’t need any specialization but honesty, experience, language, introspection, and imagination. Let your emotions like anger, love, hatred, fear out on paper.

Everyone has an author inside that can come out only when we do not fear creating the mess. You write whatever you feel. Go random and beyond formal rules! Be as creative as you can. Write if you can cook up a story from any genre. Write if you want to know yourself and write when you have something to share. Remember, people connect with the purpose, not perfection. History is evidence that a pen and a paper can change you, people, and the world. With so much belief in the magic, writing can cast, I want to share some of my favorite writing quotes that motivate me to keep going.
