In this edition of Write Enjoy Repeat (featuring all male guests for Movember uk.movember.com), Alex talks about how he first started enjoying writing at university when he switched to an Anthropology degree and began essay writing. He enjoys writing for the sake of writing, for the pleasure of it. He enjoys the process and how it helps him to work through things, give him clarity and  shape his thinking. Overall he finds it therapeutic. 

 

Alex recommends giving writing a try because you have nothing to lose, there are no rules. You don’t know what will come out and where it will take you. He encourages people to sit down with a pen and paper and just get stuff out of your head. And this is the prompt for today “getting a load of stuff out of my head…” So write down those words and see what comes out, or follow Alex’s advice and pick something that’s been whirring around in your head and write about that.

 

Alex’s favourite book is God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.
