Writing brings intrinsic and extrinsic benefits. Internally we increase our empathy as we write stories whether true or fiction, we increase our creativity, and learn to harness and organize our thoughts. Externally we develop friendships, extend our reach from people we know to readers who can be anywhere in the world. We develop stronger communication skills to better share our thoughts and impart wisdom, joy, and biblical insights to others. External benefits over which we have no control bless us such as trips to speak, getting to know famous people, and opportunities to share what God puts on our hearts.
