Better to write in essay format

During the most recent crisis period of my life, I wrote in this blog with feelings and emotions. I let these two things lead my words. However, after regaining some sense, I came to think that it is  better to write everything in essay format because it can bring many benefits.

First, it helps me to think before writing. Essay requires writer to have logical thinking and to clearly state opinions and thoughts with supporting reasons. This way, I will benefit from forcing myself to think with reasons instead of writing everything out of my emotion all the time. Being reasonable helps a person see things more clearly. Being under control of negative emotions can make a person become blind and do things impulsively, particularly saying stupid things that the person will regret later.

Second, I need to sharpen my essay writing skill because I teach people how to do this as a living. I used to be very good at it but recently I think I need to brush up a lot of vocabulary and expressions. It is good to practice the skill so that I can regain the strength in my writing and be more fit for teaching.

Finally, writing an essay rekindles the fire for writing in my heart. Writing has always been my passion since I was young. I always write when I'm sad, happy, angry, dreamy, etc. I always wanted to write my own book, an important book that is the mission for this life of mine, one that I need to write before I die. The passion for writing is still with me, but whenever I write something important, that work would be totally destroyed (by virus in computer or by computer being stolen) before it became a real book or get published anywhere. This made me become more and more hopeless in writing. Nevertheless, once I start teaching or writing essays, the fire seems to spark again and I feel the passion running in my heart and want to write more and more. This is what I am feeling right now.

In conclusion, I think I will mostly write the content of this blog in essay format. I feel a determination to do so, and believe that it would bring benefits to my life and maybe to the readers too.
