It can feel a bit of an exhortation, to write every day, but what does this mean in the reality of a writer’s life? With recent global pandemics creating unexpected time on our hands to write, what better moment could there be to put it into practice?
Whether you’ve only ever written a shopping list or a work email, thousands of words in your head but never on paper, writing is always the manifestation of some form of storytelling. At its simplest, that’s what writers do. They create stories, whether in fact or fiction, and this is one of the ways we organise our thoughts, respond to and make sense of the world in which we live.
