In Why I Write, Joan Didion goes on to explain why she writes. Joan describes how her writing is influenced by what she sees, tastes, and can touch. She wrote to discover her own self and to find the deeper meaning of what she thought and what she could see. Joan wrote to be able to explain the pictures that flashed throughout her mind. Joan Didion’s reasoning behind taking George Orwell’s title was because she was interested in finding her own voice as an author. Joan felt that this “I” in the title was someone who was every individual part of the writing. Joan loved the title that George used because many authors explain certain topics of their writing instead of getting to the true and deep meaning behind their writings and why they actually produce these pieces of work.
I write for many reasons but the majority of my writing occurs while I complete my school papers and essays. I also spend a lot of my time writing emails and writing out text messages to send to my peers. I tend to write about my current thoughts and issues on social media websites. I also personally write to vent my frustrations and to allow my emotions to flow onto the paper. I have no set theme while writing but I do tend to write about myself or things that effect me. I personally prefer to write about deeper and more emotional topics. I do in fact enjoy writing for myself however, I do not write as often as I would like to.
