Words
Words are communication. Writing is communication without the body language. You can’t the expression on my face or the tone of my voice as I write these words as you would if we were speaking to each other.
Writing refers to the action of putting thoughts into words and “putting them to paper” or in the 21st century, typing them to a computer file. Writing also refers to the finished product of having written something. And of course, we all know that the term writer refers to the person doing the writing.
So, that said, can I sum it up by say that - Writers write writings!
How’s that for a mouthful. Almost the same as Speaker speak speeches.
Words represent ideas in sound and in writing. Ideas exist in our minds and are always abstract. Words give ideas meaning.
So since my mind is CONSTANTLY in action mod and full of thousands of ideas every day, I am so thankful I have the ability to put some of these abstract ideas into words. And that I can write them down. I like to write them down first of all, so I can remember them and secondly, so I can share them with others who are looking for similar ideas.
I haven’t quite figured out yet how to write my thoughts at 2 AM as I lay in bed in my dark bedroom. Maybe it’s the cosiness of the warm blankets. Or that I’m relaxed and not concentrating on my to do list. It never fails, that’s when I have the most awesome ideas. Some nights they come so fast and furious I can barely keep up in my mind. But by morning, I can’t begin to remember the details or thoughts and the ideas never become words and are never writings. Sad really. Such a waste of ideas.
Maybe I’ll look into getting a tape recorder by my bed or one of those little Dictaphones that executives use. That way I can capture my thoughts that I’ll then communicate to you through writings.
