"Writing is the most private act that exists. Some people say sex is the most private, but even for that you need a partner. Writing is as private as it gets" - Jim Merod, a professor at Soka University

I love writing. The act itself is definitely private, but afterwards, it can be public or it can be private, depending on whom I share it with. For me it's a good way to process things that happen to me. I guess that it's private helps with that-- I can take a step back and see things as a whole. But I like to share what I write, given appropriate venues.

I generally find that most comparisons between writing and sex fall flat. But that's just me.

Happy midterms!
