Unstructured Writing

The Story Matters Most – Guest Post
Drawing by Adrian Serghie

I always thought a piece of written content must be structured in such a way that it looks nice and that has a logical form from top to bottom. But does that apply to all types of writings?

Lately, I changed my mind and I think it doesn’t. Structured writing is very useful when you try to teach someone something or when you try to expose some arguments to convince someone about something. However, when it comes to creative writing, the beauty is not in the logic, but in the feelings.

The unstructured writing is based on feelings, which are exposed in a creative way. Logic has little to no place here. Think about the last time you watched a romantic movie. Which parts of it made you cry? The logical parts or the unstructured (almost chaotic) parts?

From all forms of writing, the best are those that share feelings and they cannot be shared with logic. I learned it the hard way.

Oh, sorry! I got distracted! And I try not to feel guilty or to punish myself for letting myself get distracted while in the middle of writing a post. But guess what? That’s life! Distractions are everywhere and they are all making an impact on me, on us. Should we feel guilty?

Anyways, I hope that after each and every distraction you can find your path once again.

What kind of content do you enjoy the most?
