Writing and the Things you Love

Reading

Reading is food for the soul. As such, it is one of the things that fuel the creative process of writing. It is a way to meet great minds and learn from them.

Learning

Learning is the addiction of smart people. They always want to improve and strive for perfection in their many areas of interest. The more you know, the more you will be able to convey to the reader with your writing.

Dancing

Dancing is a very pleasing activity. At first sight – dancing and writing have nothing to do at each other, but if you look closely… you will find out that as art forms they are very strongly related.

Culture

Writing and culture are intertwined. Rumi one of the deepest and most passionate poets the world has known could have lived only in Persia, ancient Iran. Among the world’s oldest and richest cultures it has influenced Italy, Greece, Macedonia and Russia as well as other parts of Asia. Persian poetry written in Farsi is classified among the most beautiful poetry in the world. 

Languages

Languages are inspiring. They are related to our thinking, our culture and our social identity, our discourse, and they definitely have to do with writing.

Journaling
