I Want to be a Writer (a brief essay)

The writer is the best conveyor of truth through a means of making clear just how people are, what they do, think, say, and believe, and against a backdrop of something based on actual living, or character development that will make it so.  And when you read so many books, you get the whole setting etched in your brain, you're there, for as long as it takes.



The writer can use Bullets, but doesn't.  The writer can use Bold, but doesn't.  The writer can stick to a Left margin, but as I've proved in my own books, you can use Center.  Spacing is optional and can lead to greater freedom the more you use.  I would suggest to the young writer, a pause after each line in poetry should come at the period of the sentence, but if there's no punctuation, then just go ahead and pause after each line on the page.



One of the first things that happens when you write something you might like, others might like, is your insatiable need to write more, and more.  Your thoughts are directed into a current piece that gives you great acknowledgement of your creative instincts, and if you must revise, do it by adding more content, not taking away, after all, you can use the worst line in a way that works itself out in the end.  Just remember, you leave it all out there, and it will make its way around more than your own world.
