"Writing to Connect" by Mary Pipher

Mary Pipher in her essay, describes the reason why people choose to write. SHe says that people write about thing because instead of the idea simply being important to them, it has become so important that they want the entire world and their audience to know about it. She mentions that there are many more ways than "writing" to write. 

That last part meant a lot to me. My previous major was video production and I absolutely love movies. They are such a great way to send messages to people now. I am glad that for once a writer recognizes film as just another pad of paper waiting to be written on.
