Writing

[monk222]

“Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.”

-- Isaac Asimov

Such thinking for me is really the only meaningful thought I have, the only thing that soothes my anxieties and nervous knots. Just as with math, which I also need to do on paper, because I just cannot hold that much in my easily over-strained brain, so it is with vast, unwieldy complexes of emotions and perceptions, I need the exercise of slowly breaking them down into somewhat carefully crafted sentences in order to get a handle on the chaos and the threatening insanity. The artfulness of it is a consolation in itself.

You wrote-It is just that there is nothing I can do that will be more meaningful and more pleasurable than my reading and writing -
Do You write on the Internet only, or can be, do you write short stories or books?

Heh, I haven't written stories since school days, and I will never write anything worth a dollar. I just write journals. Before the Internet, I wrote in notebooks, and now I use blogs, this one and private ones.
