WHY SHOULDN'T YOU WRITE? A long time ago, in the ever busy city of Lagos, Inemesit started writing. Lol, yea...I did. I really didn't have a particular niche I wrote on. My writings varied from Poetry to music down to random thoughts and generally what was doing me at a point in time.(emphasis on 'the doing me', lol) The beautiful thing was that as I kept writing, I kept evolving. Just wait, I'll tell you how. Over the years, I have heard some people say in that funny english(people like me-lol) -- "writing is not my passion and so I don't have interest in becoming an author, content creator or content marketer" but should becoming an author, content creator or marketer be the only reason why we write? One major mistake that most upcoming writers make is to focus on writing as only a WANT rather than a #NEED. Don't get lost! I'll explain. You see, writing should be a lifestyle. You didn't have your bath today because you only wanted to. You did because you first NEEDED to. Your body needs to sleep, eat, bathe and get many other attentions including to WRITE. Just so you know, WRITING helps your brain de-clutter.(This means that writing helps you unwind and ease stress hereby aiding your productivity level). Isn't that great? Writing is a need and writers need to see it as first a #NEED. However, WANTS should not be totally eradicated from the equation. I'll explain. The doctors tell us to bathe at least twice a day and eat at least three times a day right? But don't you sometimes bathe more than twice a day when the whether is hot or don't you crave for a snack or eat an extra even though you have eaten the right amount of food for a day? Of course, you do and I know I do too(foodies like us...lol). Anyways, I said that to say that I do know there is a rising want in the writing industry. Content creators are the rave of the day and are really useful to the development of the business world. Skills like brandstorytelling and copywriting are in hot demands to help marketers make sales but then, above the many wants for writers across all spheres(either to build influence or to make a living, writing is an essential criteria for being human. So, whether you are very passionate about writing or not, you must understand that writing is a necessity. Once in a while, try documenting how your day went! If you haven't ever done that? Try to start today. Believe me, it is a natural remedy for goal setting and vision boarding(i'll expantiate on this much later) Document your daily activities or experiences in a journal. The more you constantly write freely as a need and not just a want, the more you: 1- actually do find a niche to center on while writing. 2--become intentional (because writing things down brings them to life) 3-- set goals for your self and work towards correcting mistakes you make generally as humans. 4-- drop your footsteps on the sand of time( generations after you get to read about you and what you have ever thought about) 5--begin to think of authoring a book. 6--begin to make profit 7--attain personal development. Note that readers are not the true leaders. Writers are...( A book must first be written before it can be read and not all writers write from something they found in a book. Most are from experiences.) You want to become a true leader then be a writer. Write freely. See writing as a need and not only a want. Write on any thing and everything, start writing from little things like your daily activities, your history, past, present and generally yourself. WRITING makes you the leader of your world, so WHY SHOULDN'T YOU WRITE? Yours writerlly, Inemesit Hanson.
