Many would perceive writing as a talent developed from time to time. As for journalist, novelists or biography authors, their works do not come distinguished over night. Their works are the limestone of their past efforts. Their highlighted works are the beacon of what they have achieved through struggle. Few would consider writing as a gift. A nuance of skill bestowed by ecclesiastic power. A born writer delivered from a family of writers is the common assumption. A young talented writer from such a family is actually expected. Though both 'types' of writers exist, they may face a natural selection at large. Many talented writers quit. Many born-writers could also choose different directions during his life.

Writing, the skill that is applauded by many as the highest capability of human intelligence. Not many can write, many can actually read though. So, is writing superseded reading in terms of intelligence. Many would say yes. But few may simply question or indecisive to agree. But, both reading and writing all come hand in hand. We can not actually write when we do not have enough time and stuff to read. Or, we may have the thrill to write when we have actually informed by a certain news, events, or even rumors. Few people are inspired to write as they are have read an interesting short stories, novels, biographies etc.

Then, let's take a scrutinizing look at what actually writing is. Why does it bring good to some people?

For quite few people, writing is a solemn asylum hideaway. In writing they can obtain that moment of siren. Writing is an escape from the daily chores and routine people face. Writing down words of wisdom, phrases of calmness, and sentences of powerful self-motivation are few thing to do. Also, some people write to find a humdrum of chaos they want to make. Anger, stress, anxiety and disappointment are the common cores of turbulence to what they write. Rather than saying orally, the releases of such mental burden to writing is 'safer'.

Writing itself is giving word(s) their innate nature, to convey idea worth spreading. A scramble word like frethyuin does not mean anything conventionally. Confusion yields in our mind to such word. Further search f meaning of the word seems useless. But conventional word such as 'revolution' means greater context. And, the word revolution itself may find greater 'life' if someone expand the context. He or she may find greater readers to find that the one word 'revolution' has given birth to actual and worthy text to read and context to decipher.

Then, writing capability is defined as the skill to put appropriate words with adequate space. And this exactly a writers with vast vocabulary they possess. And is not a difficult thing to do, such as this, hisdo uslike to fellowsneglect. See, it's very easy. But, this one is meaningless. To convey meaning appropriately the sentence should like this His fellows do like to neglect us. With sense of good grammar and punctuating words, the skill actually pose clarity and eligibility. Though, such skill of constructing words and decorating spaces and punctuation between them are not as easy as it seems.

Forging reading and writing to ourselves is a necessity to actually enabling the writing skill. This skill, then is highly appreciated as the writing works will seek their readers.
