What Does Writing Mean To Me

I asked myself the questions how do I write? What does writing mean to me? and I sat staring at the computer screen for hours. I realized that I am the type of writer that likes to get to the point so here it is. I have personally always disliked writing, especially an assignment like this one that is so creative and open to one 's own ideas. They cause me a lot of stress.
