the cost of writing...

There is a cost to writing. A cost that many don't think about. A pencil and paper might be a buck fifty. A nice pen and fancy journal might be twenty dollars. A decent laptop/computer/ typewriter goes even higher than that. But even all that doesn't compare to the cost of time. The time it takes for us to realize that brilliant thought you had might be worth writing down. The time it takes us to hunt for the cheap or expensive utensil to write it down. Then there is the time it takes us to edit and refine our thought from a piece of carbon to a beautiful diamond.

Still, even with this great cost of writing, writing is a lost art form that is totally worth it.

Every thought is precious, every anecdote a gem. Write it down. Share. After all isn't that what helps us process our F.E.E.Lings?
