Writing is Writing and All the Writing You Do is Right for You
The writing you do — whatever form it takes — is right for you. This applies to all chosen paths.
There are nearly 8 billion people on this planet. Among us all, there are a lot of different things that we do, desire to do, and can do. Some are tasks and chores we are not so fond of. Others, though, come easily and bring us joy.
However, it’s easy to see the things that come easily to us as having less value. That’s easy — so it doesn’t count. But that’s not true. It absolutely counts.
Writing, for me, comes easily. I love the challenge of having a project to do — whether it’s sci-fi and fantasy, mindfulness/self-improvement writing, or business/work-related writing.
Yet I have undervalued how right writing felt to me because it comes as easily as it does. But that’s just because it’s a thing that brings me joy and makes me feel content.
Just because something comes easily to you — it might not be so easy to others.
Take baking, for example. Some people can barely fathom how sugar, flour, and butter morph into cookies and cakes. Others, like my wife, can take these three ingredients and make something delicious and amazing with nary a thought.
