Power Monday #64 The Power Of Writing

Published: Nov 17, 2014 Β· Modified: Jul 23, 2017 by Rebecca Pytell Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

I'm bringing back Power Monday this week. I have been reading some great articles on writing and being a writer lately. In my UW (University Writing) class, we have been having some great discussions about writing and revision (obviously) as well. Let's just say, writing has been on my mind a lot and I really feel like expressing my feelings for it in writing (pun intended).

Power Monday

When you first learn how to write, you start with simply forming letters on wide lined paper with dotted lines, helping you to craft the letters as your shaky unfamiliar little hand experiences a new form of art for the first time. Those letters (more like vague symbols in the beginning) are crooked and bent, looking like you wrote them while jumping on a trampoline. With much practice though, you start to connect those letters into words and then into sentences with "two-finger-spaces" in between. I remember one of the first "stories" I ever wrote in Kindergarten was actually just a drawing of my brother with squiggly wave-like lines underneath it. I loved the story and was proud of it. It was all about my big brother Jimmy. My teacher asked me what is said. Even though no one could read it (since all that was on the page was up and down lines), I knew what it said. I "read" it perfectly and already knew I wanted to write again...and again.

However, during my teen years I really hated writing. I just didn't feel like I could express what I wanted effectively. Too many words with not enough meaning. No one could possible understand the thoughts I wanted to get down. I just could not find he words to explain things right. I was frustrated I couldn't eloquently craft the perfect essay or the perfect story anymore. My ideas were dried up and my words were stuck behind a wall. Really though, I created that block, that lack of confidence. I made writing a chore and I forgot about the beauty of the art that is was. I forgot about my younger years, care-free writing, just for fun, crafting silly stories in memo books. Just letting my mind connect with my hand and create something beautiful on the pages.

That's why I was a bit nervous about starting a blog. I was not a writer in the way I thought I had to be. I had so much to share, but I wasn't sure I would be able to do it. Thankfully, through this blog I regained that love of effortless creation. I learned again how beautiful words could be if you just let them come, nothing forced, just wait for those moments and then let your mind and hand go wild on the page.

More recently, my UW class has also increased my love for writing again. I think I really know the power that written words have now. It is beautiful and can be so raw; such a moving way to express yourself and your thoughts. Writing is the yoga of the mind. Just like I have found the wonders of expression through moving my body with yoga, I have found those same things through the movement of the hand in writing. The flowing of letters on a page, the release I get when I make my thoughts visible.

The Power Of Writing | Strength and Sunshine #writing

Writing is powerful. That is simply what it is...power. It is the power to express yourself. The power to move a crowd and provoke thought. The power to tell a story and have it remembered and tangible for years to come. It gives you the power to get angry, sad, forgive, put your accomplishments into words. It is the power to empty out your mind and release any struggle or stress that is clouding your vision. It gives you the power to craft something of your own, not just make something, but craft it. You find the power of your own style, flow and you discover things hidden in your mind that you didn't know were there.

Writing is a beautiful art of the thoughts and dreams of the mind that is painted for all to see with the hand. Anyone can write. Anyone can craft something amazing. Every thought, idea, dream, feeling, belief, opinion, hope, and worry you have is important and worthy enough to be written. Your writing has power, every word does, even when you may not believe it yourself. The more you write though, the more your confidence and love for the power you feel, will grow. Your writing will become an outlet. You will begin to make time for random stories, thoughts, and ideas to be written down on scraps of paper, napkins, the back of the cereal box. You won't want any of those words to be forgotten. You will write and you will see the power and wonder that writing is.

So tell me:

+ Do you enjoy writing?

+ Why is writing powerful to you?

    I used to write a lot as kid too.. usually fiction short stories. I've definitely abandoned that as I got older--too busy. πŸ™ But I do love to write. So it's super encouraging to hear how you've been able to regain your writing "flow" through your blog! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!! πŸ™‚

    Thanks for sharing! I also love writing, and have done so since I was a little girl as well. I do agree that writing on a regular basis is as you put it "yoga" for the mind. I have never actually questioned my writing... it as always come pretty naturally to me. I did stop writing for myself and my own stories for a while, when I started working as a TV writer. But now, with my blog, I'm also using my writing again as a relief valve to all my thoughts. I guess the most powerful thing about writing is the communicating part of it. Keep on writing and congrats on doing a course on it!!

    Writing comes naturally to me as it seems to build up inside of me until I allow the words to escape. Writing allows me to process my emotions (both good and bad). My hope is that my words will encourage others and glorify God. I, too, believe that there is power in our words. Thanks for the encouraging post, Rebecca!

    As a huge introvert, I love writing because it's a "safer" way to express myself. My only hang-up is I can't stand being in the same room with someone reading what I've written. (Even if I had my mom proofread an essay in high school for me, I would have to leave!) I definitely appreciate blogging as a creative outlet. If I go too long without posting, I get the itch to get back into it.

    What a wonderful post Rebecca. I love to write, and I remember when my son was in high school and his English teacher told him that he had an incredible imagination, but his fear of writing wasn't allowing him to express himself. He told him to write everything that he was feeling, without worrying about grammar, and then, he could go back and start organizing those thoughts and ideas and turn them into a readable story. It was the best advice he ever received, because today he's a fabulous storyteller. Keep writing, you're doing a great job. πŸ™‚

    Love this post! I love writing. I can say things in writing that I can't always say out loud. And writing gives me time to process. Speaking is often faster paced...you need to really be on top of it to express yourself well. Sometimes I just need a little time. πŸ™‚

    Aside from music, writing is probably my other most longstanding outlet, so I'm super glad it's in my life. I've been keeping some form of a journal for so long that it's hard for me to remember what it was like before I started. 😑 I didn't like the constraints of writing as much while I was in school, but I'd usually find a way to bend prompts into what I wanted to write about instead. πŸ˜›

    I'm glad you write! <3 I love your blog!

    Writing is very therapeutic for me. I find that when I write about my thoughts I think more deeply about my life, plans, goals, etc... I love writing in my journal. It's important for me to document my life so that I can remember the good and the not so good events in my life. I love knowing that my son will be able to read through what I've written and get an idea of what life was like when he was little πŸ™‚

    That was beautiful and quite true. Writing is a way to empty your mind without losing your thoughts.

    I was not a very confident writer either. My sister is an amazing writer and poet, getting a masters degree in creative writing, so in comparison I always felt pretty mediocre at it. But my blog has made me realize that I am a writer too, just of a different sort πŸ™‚

    I enjoyed reading this! I hated writing in high school because all of the tedious papers and essays made it feel like torture. That, and they provided no room for creativity. Half of the things I write don't get published but it's freeing to get my thoughts on paper...or a computer.

    Love this!! I actually find that express myself much freer and often clearer on my blog then I do when simply talking about some of the topics I covered. Especially when it comes to health stuff. If someone asks me how things are going my knee jerk response is always "okay", when there is often so much more to say. Blogging has been huge for this for me

If you've never heard of Irish potato candy, than you're in for a TREAT! πŸ₯³ Believe it or not, there is NO potato in potato candy! Here's another kicker...Irish potato candy is not actually Irish! It's a Philidephia, PA confection (so if you're not from the East Coast you really may be out of the loop!) However, it's a super fun seasonal treat that pops up around St. Patrick's Day! πŸ€πŸ‘

A soft coconut cream candy rolled in cinnamon, it's typically made with dairy, but this vegan version swaps out the dairy for @daiyafoods cream cheese, @countrycrock plant butter, then add some @swervesweetie, @edwardandsons shredded coconut, and vanilla extract! Once you have the dough, the fun begins by shaping the little potatoes and rolling them in @simplyorganicfoods cinnamon! πŸ˜‹πŸ₯₯
