‘Writing is my way of expressing – and thereby eliminating – all the various ways we can be wrong-headed.’ – Zadie Smith
The benefits of writing are not only reserved for those who can write like Smith, or even those who aspire to publication. Writing has an ability to make our thoughts clearer, spark new ideas and creativity, offer solace, meditation and can be a cost-effective form of self-directed therapy.
Developing a regular writing practice can provide individuals with insight into their lives, worries, experiences, and goals by untangling our thoughts and giving us new ones.
