At Kibor. I am also a student and I am currently writing my dissertation which I am actually enjoying which is weird because everyone is complaining about the word lengths and so on but I am starting t think its not even enough. Its weird that I am enjoying writing a non-fictional piece of work when I have always preferred to do fictional work. Thanks Mathew for this article. Reading this article made me think that when I spent an adequate amount of time on essays, I actually enjoyed writing it.
I googled I love writing and this article popped up. I wish I could be a writer in the future, its the only place I feel I would fit perfectly. But its kinda difficult to get into and that is a bit off putting.

I also think my grammar is really bad so I would not get far, but its kinda refreshing to discover professionals have typos too. So sheer perfection its not entirely needed.

I think you list of the reason you enjoy writing is thoughtful and not just at a professional level. I’m a student right now and became sidetracked while writing a paper. I realized how much I was enjoying writing my paper and so I compulsively goggled “I love writing”. I was surprised by this and it has opened up the prospect of writing perhaps being in my future career! Thank you for the thoughts!

As long as we’re pointing out typos, there should not be an apostrophe in “let’s” in point 25. (Just delete my comment after you’ve fixed it.)

There is a very nice new website for those who love to write, it’s at: http://www.myexp.org

It’s about writing and sharing of personal life experiences, it’s free to write and read and you can submit anonymously, you don’t even have to register.

The combination of sharing your life experience with the world, and getting to write it down, is kind of inspiring.
