Being able to write without a definite structure or purpose is a gift and a privilege, and as such we should honor it. We should make time for it because it is so good for us. One should never have to choose between honoring emotions or self expression, and our daily obligations. We should be a society that promotes these things as part of our daily obligations. By making a space for creative writing we strengthen the members of our society by enabling them to grow, learn, and experiment as people within a healthy facet. Creative writing is an underused resource in the education system that promotes empathy, emotional regulation, and communication skills.
