Writing is making meaning

Writing is living with ever-greater intensity. It forces us to make meaning out of the banal and drab. It compels us to see further, whether through hindsight or imagination.

Writing convinces us that the mirage can be reached. It’s a learning process that culminates in its own self-awareness. The result can be elaborative and spongy or short and sweet.

Writing is also a hustle—bicep curls for the brain—and painful, so few do it. That’s why the work is also met with high levels of satisfaction. Writing is way of life.
