‘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.
