Is writing a forgotten art ?

With the advent of short messaging and WhatsApp , it seems to me that blogging and writing longer posts is becoming a forgotten art. Why the verbose explanation when you can send an emoji ? That maybe the thinking in general and is very much suited for the smart mobile world. But writing is an expression of self and its always a pleasure to experience the flow of thoughts that translate to words on paper. Writing is one of the small pleasures which I used to enjoy earlier. Sharing of emotions in words , expressions in meaning., the play of words within paragraphs , sometimes not so much in order , but it all adds up to the natural beauty of the Art which is Writing !

Back to Writing

Here is starting off 2020 with a post - BacktoWrting
This post is mostly for myself. As I have been away from writing for quite a long time now, I need this reminder that writing is still wonderful. Get back to it and let the words flow, even for a small time each day.




In our busy days, we forget to look at the small things which make us smile and feel wonderful about ourselves. One of these small things for me, is writing. I should take out time more regularly for writing. It does not matter if what I write is not read by anybody else apart from myself. Its of course good to have readers and write from a readers perspective. But ultimately , writing is for the self , not for the other self.




This makes me wonder, what is keeping me away from writing for a long time now. Is it the work pressures , less time to spare , no great ideas to write about ? Maybe its a combination of these factors. Well , whatever it was , lets hope that it stays in the past. I got started with this post and would continue to a bit of it every day.
