Is writing just the 'easy way out'?

Question

Is writing the Easy way out? Because whenever I don't want to face the truth or w/e I'll write about it, and it seems so much smaller then it really is when i go back and re read it. I've started a story and that's how i do some of the parts to, i'll get really mad about something then go write my scene and it will have words i didn't even know i knew... but is writing just like an easier way to deal with something? or is it just a lame excuse to not get as mad at someone as you might before you write it?

Answer 1

i agree, i don't think you should call it "the easy way out" 'cause that sound too much like drugs. but i think that writing is theraoutic in the way that if you write about someone else you forget about your own situation.

Answer 2

No writing isn't the easy way out. It actually helps solve your problems. Plus, there's something self-prospective about writing. Its sort of therapeutic in a way. That's why many people vent by writing in a journal, poems, songs or even stories. Because its like if you're letting it all out. Even if its not to a person. It feels like a load off your shoulders.

Answer 3

No. Writing is a creative outlet that can help all kinds of situations. Keep writing; you'll just get better and better.
