Why Do We Write
Writing is an indispensable part of human civilization, a primary pillar upon which societies are built and cultures thrive. It’s not just a means of communication; it is an archive of collective human Wisdom and emotions that spans across generations. Writing is universally acknowledged as the most effective tool for preserving and conveying thoughts. It transcends the barriers of time and space, allowing a writer in one part of the world to speak directly to a reader in another, years or even centuries later. The Baby Boomers generation is filled with some of the best writers and our experts in this area of the site talk about why writing is so important to us and how it affects the generations following us like Millennials and Generation Z.
Creatively, writing is an art form that provides a canvas for the imagination. It encompasses a vast range of genres, each offering a unique way of exploring human experiences and emotions—be it through poetry that taps into rhythmic beauty, fiction that opens imaginary realms, or non-fiction that delves into real-world issues. Writing also serves as a powerful therapeutic tool, helping individuals to articulate thoughts and feelings that might be difficult to express orally. As a tool, a craft, and an art, writing remains at the heart of personal, professional, and cultural identities.

Stained glass artist Margaret Malishchak proves new chapters don’t have to mean leaving other passions behind for good. After loving creating stained glass as a young adult, Margaret then shifted her focus to her growing family and other aspects of life, her art supplies packed away in her Madison, NJ basement.
