What is writing, for each it is different. I find writing to be very therapeutic.
It helps me clear my head of extra noise. Find comfort in releasing the negativity. Express the strength putting emotions into words. Revealing power one has within.
I write fiction because it allows the ability to express without the raw vunerability. Releasing the inner demons that like to hide within. Letting the words written trap the demons within the pages of a story.
As it has always been said, "There is a time and place for everything." I use writing as my time and place. Telling stories in fiction help reveal my own demons to me. Knowing they are there is just the first part, slaying them is the hardest.
I am a visual person, if I can't see it, I can't overcome it. So making them visible in words allows me a perspective that can't be achieved mentally. I never truly understood the phrase, "The pen is mighter than the sword" until now. Seeing the words and reading them makes it real in a more tolerable way. Giving me the speration needed to gain the strength to fully resolve the inner termoil, provide others with an experience they may relate to, and possibly find their own resolution to a similar demon.
