“Writing, usefully, slows you down” Bob Write for your Life

In this edition of Write Enjoy Repeat, Bob remembers enjoying being read to as a child. He enjoys, and feels privileged, to review other people’s writing as an editor, he says it makes him feel part of a community. He likes to use writing to work out what he’s thinking and feeling - making things clearer to himself.
Bob likes to write letters and essays and enjoys writing about ideas, trying his best to write elegantly. Writing gives him confidence, even though he sometimes feels a bit nervous about how his writing will be received.
Bob recommends trying writing because it slows you down. It makes you pause and take stock and you can be surprised by what comes out. Bob has just finished reading ‘Max Perkins: Editor of Genius’ by A Scott Berg and recommends it as he says it’s a model biography and a great life. Do get in touch if we've inspired you to pick up a pen either again, or for the first time.
