First thing I remember was listening

The first thing you learn is listening, verbal and nonverbal.
You study the mannerisms, the expressions, the tone, distance,
everything.

This is universal. Communication has to be, there is no other way.

So, when someone might ask you why you write, how is that any different
than existence itself?



But what? What is there that occupies your brain, is it well planned, or played out,
what you have to say or is there just something inside, something you use as an individual
to direct your full attention?

Writing is a direction of focus. Writing is a verbal way of expressing intent,
whether scribing a story, true of fiction, or a poem, or essay, or just
commenting on something specific like, whatever...

And all people do it all the time.
But some people push it to its limit.

It takes up a lot of space in their brain
just trying to relate or say something.
