Why Do We Write?

Why Do We Write? We are one way or the other subjected to writing in different ways. Writing is what we have been doing since childhood and even right in our adulthood. It is something one cannot leave or stay without, except when you are not alive, or you are illiterate. In a nutshell, we all have different reasons for writing and composing a write-up, which are: **— To strengthen our writing skills:** While writing, we make lots of mistakes in terms of grammars, but be consistent in writing can make you have the full boldness to correct some of the errors you have made before now. No one is perfect but as each day passes, learning continues and indeed we are all learning. Sometimes our kids or relatives might call us for help in writing and if any mistake is found will make one not good or will make one look awkward in their sights. So, to improve our writing abilities, we tend to embark on constant writing. **— For fun:** most people who write, did that for fun. They write so that they will not be bored or lonely. My Dad loves writing, even when it is for nothing. He always picks up his pen to write anything that comes his way. I have also seen a girl whose job is just to exchange money, but there were no customers that very day and so, she formed a story and wrote on it. I asked her to tell me the reason she is writing but said it is just for fun and to keep her busy since no customer is coming. So, writing is for fun. **— To make money:** If I may ask everyone in this platform to reason they are here, I think the majority will tell me the true reason for been here. Many people are around in different platforms writing and making money. So, being here is to make money, and it is through writing because if you don't write, I don't think it will be possible to make one. Making good use of your own is very much important and can bring you many things, including good tidings and joy. I will just encourage us all here to do more in our writing because it is the one that can bring us money. **— For petition and conflict:** This is what many politicians are doing right now. They write to petition their opponents or to find fault in their opponent's steps. So, many people write to petition others, which will lead to conflict at the end of the day. It may be conflicts between two countries or conflict between two clans or between two people. So, we write to make all these possible, which is what .any people do nowadays. If I don't want you to be in a position, I will find all means to check up with your background and see if there are some things you have done that can deprive you of the post you are fighting for. In so doing, you will not have the ability to attain such a position because people will lose trust in you. **— Not to forget:** I asked my students this question that why do they write? The whole class responded as if they have heard this question somewhere before. They all answered, "so that we will not forget". The truth rains that when you write down, you cannot forget that easily but when you are the type that just listens without writing, you may likely forget some things been thought. So, we write in different ways and for different reasons. First published in my hive blog. It is my write up on hive [here](https://peakd.com/@cool08/why-do-we-write)
