In "When Writers Speak," Arthur Krystal confides: "I am smarter when I'm writing."(88) This is because, with practice, your writing can only improve. Every time a person writes, he learns new information, whether it be about himself, his writing, or the world around him. Great writers didn't get their work published by luck, they had to practice over and over again, and even fail many times before the eventually succeeded.
Arthur Krystal also confides that "There's something about writing, when we regard ourselves as writers, that affects how we think and inevitably, how we express ourselves." (89) This means that writing is a form of showing our feeling and opinions on certain matters. Writing is a form of expression. This includes keeping diaries, journals, and blogs to organize thoughts and feelings. Blogs are completely different than keeping a diary or a journal in which it is a digital form of expressing oneself. Blogs are a a lot less private, and anyone who finds your page can read it. This negatively impacts the expression. Others should not be reading your private thoughts. Putting your feeling on the internet is a cry for attention that people don't need. You may also write differently knowing your work will be read rather than writing exactly how you feel.
