To Write & to be a Writer: The scribble of an Amateur Writer.
Writing is an imitation of life. It is a mental visualization of ideas that sprout from experiences and end in narratives. It is a way of saying all that needs to be said, unsaid, and can be said. It is soothing, creative, immersive, spiritual, and entertaining. It is an escape into a world fuss with everything imagination can attract. It is the hanger of linear and sneaking plots: it is a continuous whisper, an empathetic jealousy unlocking faded and forgotten stories trapped in time. It is a gift, a calling, and a lifeline.
If ever you find a soul drifting into stories, do not pass without tithing a tribute therein. Writers pagers of our daily experiences and their views are guides to (un)certainty. Even now, the best of writers is an ordinary human being reliving life as a necessary epistle. He lives unperturbed about how you uncover his truths because to him, a book only finds life in the derived meanings a reader gives it.
Like Jesus, writers are saviours of everything others let go; they are creators of experiences others cringe away from; and they are advocates of deafening silence that tears through facts and essential change.
No writer is the best of another, each only captures life from the limitation of his knowledge. But the ones with sharp fingers are always to be revered, for they not only live in the craft; they also breathe the craft as air.
"My people perish for lack of knowledge" the scriptures say. But writers perish too much for having knowledge in abundance. Not that they die too early without fame, a number of them are famous but their minds are constantly littered with unanswered questions. They are always on a journey in and out of time. And If you ever find or know a writer, please ask them about the things that keep them alive because too many repeatedly die in silence so they can write the best stories that keep you happy and dream full.
It's good I take a break here because writing and writers are to be seen as theories. No one is entirely sure of how far they can reach nor is anyone certain of their lifespan. If only I were a good writer, I would keep a journal full of endless possibilities.
