I think many people see writing as something boring. They don't realise how enormously empowering and life changing it can be. The power of words can change lives, and lives can be changed by the power of words - good and bad. Words are often someone's weapon against hurt, pain, trauma etc, but words can also act as an empowerer and catalyst for change, a bridging the gap both in one's life and bringing communication with others to make a better world.
