My Writing Philosophy

What is my writing philosophy?
I personally feel like i have not been able to grasp the full ability of my writing philosophy...yet. I feel like I have so much to learn about my writing philosophy and I am really looking forward to it. There is a part of a definition of Philosophy I read that states "the critical study of the basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge, especially with a view to improving or reconstituting them". The bold part really intrigues me because I have always thought of ways of improvement, ways of strengthening my writing skills. Writing is a form of art, it opens up imagination and ideas that you are able to put to paper. Writing develops understanding for both the author and the audience.
"Blogging" is a form of art in itself as we write on here to express how we feel, to go in depth to any extent we want, while reaching anyone all over the world. That's just awesome.
My Personal Experience with My Writing Philosophy.
Growing up, I didn't always have the perfect household. Of course everyone has there trials and problems in life. When I was younger and experiencing these family issues, my natural instinct was to hide it away in a journal, to put my deepest feelings and secrets to paper. I wrote in journals for years--about everything.Writing develops a better understanding from many angles. When my father had found my journals and mischievously read through them, he was able to relate to me better, knowing what was going through my head and how I felt about the same issues that he was going through as well. I have really learned that once I started realizing my writing philosophy, I experienced self growth and self actualization. I say this because everyone has a million thoughts running through their heads and when you write, your able to actually grasp some of those intense thoughts and its an interesting experience.
Writing is giving and receiving information that you can be compelled to share with others; whether it be emotional, intellectual, or spiritual.
Writing is a world of its own.
