| During interviews and general conversations with the | | | | writers concentrate only on a certain discipline of |
| public,one of the most difficult questions for me to | | | | their total resources. Others are more roaming and |
| answer(timely and thoroughly) is,"Why do you enjoy | | | | experimental as to absorb from a combination of all |
| writing"?So due to the challenge manifested in such a | | | | sensations obtained. Inspiration ignites sensitivity |
| question,I pondered on creating an answer. Many | | | | whether it be something heard,felt or read. To be |
| reasons came to mind,but after digesting much"time | | | | able to define a sensation by the use of words is |
| for thought",I managed to condense my response to | | | | satisfying. Sensations make,break,increase and |
| three items. I enjoy writing for three reasons: | | | | decrease the rhythms of ones mental and physical |
| self-expression,personal sensitivity and thirst for | | | | compositions. Ones "degree of compassion" rules the |
| adventure."Self-expression" is our Creator's gift to | | | | castle of "personal sensitivity".The "thirst for |
| all-everyone has something to say. The difference | | | | adventure" deters boredom. Anyone, whether being |
| comes with how a person expresses him or herself. | | | | a writer or not,imagines events,incidents,possibilities |
| Having an outlet to relieve ones inner turmoil or joy is | | | | and probabilities in their minds.These mental |
| necessary;and when the results is a wholesome | | | | occurrences(visions) dwell within us for short periods |
| creation of some type,it should be shared with | | | | of time and sometimes forever. But until the |
| others.Complexity arises when trying to express how | | | | inspirations are subjected to some type of |
| others feel because a person's self-expression(being | | | | tangible(music,painting,literature,sculpture,etc.)medium, |
| a writer) is a prerequisite to understanding another's | | | | they can't be documented and shared with others. If |
| expression(being an editor). There's an | | | | you don't want to be creative,you won't be!! Good |
| interwovenness of personal feelings,dogma and | | | | writers aren't born,they are crafted!!! You are the |
| personality associated with a person's self-expression. | | | | characters that you write about!! You're a vital part |
| Much of what writers' convey is the result of the | | | | of the incidents you describe. If you're writing about |
| chemistry of feelings,experience or both.Most of the | | | | a diehard tyrant,you are that tyrant!! If it's a voyage |
| time the writers' feelings prevail.Deep down in all of | | | | around the world,you're on that voyage!! Merely |
| us there are voices whose vocal chords are pencils | | | | sitting in the boat won't do it!!! One must set sail to |
| waiting to be sharpened and used. Self-expression is | | | | quench the "thirst for adventure".Writers are day-in |
| the breath of opinion,the dissipation of disposition and | | | | day-out dreamers,dressed in all colors,travelling across |
| the only river worth drowning in. "Honesty" rules the | | | | paper pulp by way of a dictionary.Now I ask |
| castle of "self-expression"."Personal sensitivity" varies | | | | you,"Why do you enjoy writing"?By: Arthur Charles |
