Writing
lemma (n.) : a family of words that all share the same words (ie: develop = development, developing, developmental, underdeveloped, redevelop, etc.)
writing is a way of connecting with yourself, your deepest thoughts and feelings, particularly when the first seem mysterious and the second hard to fathom.
Anna Quindlen • Write for Your Life
words are actions. They punch, tear, hurt, harm, soothe, amuse, educate, illuminate. They express ideas and feelings, and they make people feel better, and they move them to tears, and they enrage them, and they define them. We are all made of nouns, live by verbs, enlarge and entertain ourselves with adjectives and adverbs.

The person who is capable of feeling truly happy only upon being praised will seek to get praised more until the very last moment of their life. Such a person, having been left in a position of dependence, will lead a life of ceaseless seeking, a life without fulfillment.

An essay lets the soul of a memoirist, the rigor of a scholar, and the pen of a poet all co-exist on the same page. Out of all the mediums, it's most able to fuse the best parts of every other genre. It's literature's sponge, the frontier of the written word. https://t.co/Olikaqb5pV
Writing doesn't just communicate ideas; it generates them.
I devoured the books because they were the rays of light peeking out from the doorframe, and perhaps past that door there was another world, one beyond the gripping fear that undergirded the Dream.
Ta-Nehisi Coates • Between the World and Me
Writing from a place of joy, interest and curiosity will always take you somewhere interesting and unexpected; in a world where every writer is told there are no jobs and there is no money to be made, I want to tell you a different story.
