Writing vs *Writing*

All writing is writing, and all *Writing* is writing, not all writing is *Writing.*

In my head, there’s a difference between writing and *Writing.*

Like, I’m one of those people who thinks that all writing is writing, and I will take that to whatever bank and/or government authority you want me to.

I mean it — I will back you up 100%. All writing is writing.

ALL writing is writing.

Writing this blogpost is writing. Writing a tweet is writing. Writing a to-do list is writing.

It’s all physically (or digitally in some cases, I guess,) writing.

And all of it works on your skills with words — don’t ever let anyone tell you different, m’k? Gatekeepers can get all the way in the bin. *nods sagely*

And I write every day.

I write for work. I write for Dora Reads. I write stuff on Medium. I write comments and tweets and notes-to-self.

And it keeps me going — because writing = breathing, as far as I’m concerned. (Not that it’s easy — just that it’s vital.)

But while all writing is writing, and all *Writing* is writing, not all writing is *Writing.*
