Substack has helped me make sure I'm writing, writing, writing.
For me, it's an expression, a tapping into something and letting it out, even if I mostly don't know what that something is. But there's an elation that comes with it, a sense of purpose combined with something intangible -- that's what keeps me coming back and excercising this muscle.
There is something, isn't there? I can't quite put my finger on what to call it, but writing helps whatever that Something is. Like I've somehow achieved my purpose for the day, and I did good. Always a good feeling. :) Thanks for stopping by, Nathan!
I don’t really know what writing is to me, but I do know that if I don’t do it somewhat consistently, then something in me starts to feel bent out of shape.
Maybe, then, for me writing is health? Or perhaps peace of mind.
Or both! Even different types of writing helps me. Journaling brings me peace, and writing fiction brings happiness. Both things are wonderful, and I need my fill of them both. :) Happy writing, Michael!
Beautifully put, Olivia.

That's *exactly* how it feels, yes! If I write first thing in the morning, then that's the feeling I'm left with all day.
Very wonderfully said.
