Why Do We All Love Writing Nowadays?
The psychologist Jürgen vom Scheidt described the concept of the inner writer as:
“The source of all the inspiration and creativity that comes to one in writing.”
That’s the reason why we want to write more often, and that for joy. Because who doesn’t love stories?
As teenagers we used poetry and journaling as media of personal expression and mental processing. Later on, workloads put us off writing creatively.
Today, the age of social media enables the publication and distribution of personal texts, so that we want to write again in order to:
- learn more about ourselves by writing,
- deal with unsettling experiences,
- bring order to the stream of diverse stimuli to which we are exposed,
- because of the need to do something meaningful, even if only as a hobby.
