An Adjuration to Writers
Writing is not just an act. It is a sense of belonging wherein you feel like you are the 27th body of the alphabet, and everything is satisfaction. It ain't just about writing your desires , your pain, or how your whole day went. Writing is freeing the thoughts that suffocate you , the ideas that clog in your veins , and above all , poetically, it is an aesthetic way of arranging symbols with all the respect to what you have in mind — with honesty. When i say honesty , what i mean is always to self, to what you really have in you , no matter how fictional , how bad or how real it is. It ain't about giving what the people want, rather giving your soul the freedom to express everything.
If, some times , you feel like writing a similar story , just continue, don't hesitate— just don't plagiarize. If you feel the authencity of your story as it flows from your mind to your veins to your pen , don't doubt. The way a story begins or ends maybe common, the only thing that matters now is how you arrange them or what you put in between— just like sandwiches. Your character may not die in the end , the interesting thing will depend on how he will survive , what will he do and how will you make him mysterious — or if not , how you make up some thing so obvious but then there comes a plot twist.
If you feel like you've been criticized too much, just go on. It is a genuine nature of writing. One day, you will hear appreciation and admiration from the people who once doubted on your capabilities to write. Writing is not about how many readers you do have anyways. It is always about how many thoughts you have freed, how you comfort yourself with it and how you find your way to continue.
What i mean with writing is all of its kind.
Keep writing .
I want you to know that wanting to be happy is completely different from wanting to die.
