What Writing Teaches You About Yourself

Writing helps you figure out what you believe and what you want.

If you want to know who you are and what you believe try writing it down.

It doesn’t have to be on paper nor does it have to be saved, shared or shown to anyone.

It just has to be written down and read by you.

Write honestly.

Write truthfully.

Just write.

Tell yourself why you are who you are. Share the words that explain your philosophy on life, religion and politics and you might be surprised by what you find.

Sometimes less is more. No 800, 1200 0r 2,500 word posts today. Just the words and picture above and maybe some links below.

Hi, I am Josh Wilner and I am happy that you have decided to visit my corner of cyberspace. I am a writer/marketer/friend and family man. My professional background includes more than twenty years in working with businesses to help them do a better job of connecting with their existing and prospective customers. More specifically I have worked with companies of all sizes from the Fortune 500 to the new start up to help them build, develop and grow their social media and marketing plans. I love spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy music, reading, writing, playing sports and laughing.

    1. TheJackB – Someone complained that this page doesn’t tell you what to expect to find here in this blog so I aim to rectify this with the next line. I am a father who writes about life, parenting, business, politics and fiction. I don’t use an editorial calendar because I don’t map out what I am going to write that far in advance. The primary focus will be on things that relate to children and parenting. But the nifty thing about that is that encompasses a wide range of things. Sometimes I work with companies on their PR/Marketing efforts. If they provide products or services I will disclose it. Here is an incomplete list of companies that I am currently or have recently worked with: Nintendo, Philips Norelco, Subway, Frigidaire and Mattel. Want to know more about me, keep reading. If I wanted to provide a professional description it would looks similar to this: Jack has a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from California State University Northridge. He has been writing for print and web publications for more than twenty years, covering a wide range of topics including: business, technology, parenting, politics, education, sports and religion. That is far too serious so I prefer to use something like: The Jack B. is a writer and author of 39 unpublished books and three screenplays. A former athlete and would be superhero he still fights for truth, justice and the American Way. Though he may look like a grown man, don’t fool yourself he is still a boy at heart. When he is not engaged in Walter Mitty like fantasies he is a husband, father and friend and blogs at TheJackB. Hmm…obviously I have since moved from Random Thoughts over to this place, but that is ok. This page is a work in progress which is a good description for me. I’ll probably tweak this on a regular basis so feel free to keep checking back in because you never know what might show up. I am a prolific writer and update frequently so don’t forget to scroll down the page to see what nugget of wisdom you just might have missed. Here is a short selection of posts to get you started.

      @Lardavbern:disqus I have found it to be a very interesting exercise, especially when it comes to more serious topics. When I write about why I believe XYZ it becomes very clear to me if there is substance to my choice or if it is just some arbitrary decision.

      For example I love LA teams, always have and always will in large part because when I was a kid if you wanted to go to a ball game it was the Dodgers or Lakers.

      And because of that I automatically rooted against the Celtics and Giants. It is not logic, just coincidence.

      If I would have been born somewhere else it would have been a different team.
