# Writing for Action By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2024-07-20 Writing has a great deal of benefits. Whether in a journal or a blog, taking time to write can help one define and develop one’s thinking. Whereas this type of writing is beneficial, one should ponder writing for action. In a few cases, perhaps a manifesto is needed. Often, something smaller is in order. One way to write for action is to send a letter to Congressional Representatives. If one is engaged in social-political concerns, writing one’s Representative is a way to engage on the topic. Maybe the response will be disappointing. Perhaps it will be transformative. Writing is beneficial. Words inspire. Starting to write is an essential first step. Writing for action can be the next step in the process. #### Related Items [[Writing]] [[Action]] [[Democracy]] [[Government]] [[Thinking]] [[Progress]]
