About Writer and Writing


weheartit.com
As a writer, you should be honest.

You try to pick up all details you can ever get then spoiling them all to your readers. Showing them evidence of your thoughts that somehow can be way provoking or worse, mind-fucking. Everyone can write, yet it takes to someone who is very strong-willed to be a writer. Not an easy job though.
You have to drown deeper, dig deeper, into your own imagination, be safe in your thoughts, proud of them, concentrate on your stories, and the most important thing, enjoy every process when tons of idea spilling out.

Writing is never about fulfilling the demand of everyone. Yes, it is about producing, but a little bit different. Every piece of work tells and builds different path.
You can choose any genre you love, you can let the either which darkest side of you who speaks without feeling offended by others, why?
Because it’s a piece of writing and anyone can write whatever they want.
Sometimes, it sucks, you know, when you run out of idea and it is inevitable. That is why again a writer or someone who literally loves to write has to always move, travel, and treasure everything deeper.
You have to feel more because without feeling anything what you write you cannot retell it perfectly or fail to give the best picture.

You should be very sensitive and sensible at the same time. You always have to improve how you think.

You can’t stay the same.
You have to read everything. You should learn from Murakami and his best pathetic love stories ever. You should know how David Sedaris could be that funny and sarcastic. You should eat the piece of working by David Wallace Foster and growing up with his notorious this-is-water thought.
You probably will love Jane Austen with her classic touch of feminist romance.
Or you will get a few nerve-wrecking moments reading Rant, Fight Club, or Pygmy by the loveliest Chuck Palahniuk.

You can choose which one you like. You can be anyone you want to be with your piece of writing. You can represent yourself as a good joker, as a storyteller, or someone who try to be quite intellectual just like me mentioning those famous writers above. Or you want to be a blogger, a pure blogger that share everything in your daily life, or someone who spill weird yet amazing fantasy like Neil Gaiman.
It's up to you.

Writers are not only writers. They are those who are brave enough to let you know who they are to the world or
at least how they want to be perceived. Congratulate them, befriend with them, or simply just be one.

A bit of Romcom

Most of guys I've ever dated now are married. To wonderful women? Sure, I guess. No, I'm not saying this in a mellow tune, or certai...
