Writing anything
takes patience and skill along with a dash of luck. When you write, you tell
the world they truly need to read it, can’t go on without it, and must tell
their friends to do the same. You throw your finished book out to the waiting
eyes of critics who can destroy you with harsh words and little praise. You
tell your family and friends to get a copy but only a few do, so you go forward
with a bit of sadness, but you keep going.
Writing is a
business like any other and should be treated as such. From conception to
marketing everything is put into place waiting with great anticipation for the
big reveal, that can be accepted with favor, or dark rejection. Either way it
is your book, your hard work and in your mind a great achievement that will
collect dust for years to come.
Becoming a
successful writer is the dream of every story teller who puts ink on paper.
Unlike most a writer’s gift to the world is to take them, the reader, to places
only they imagine. A place where reality can be thrown away and fictional tales
written especially for them make up a special time of day. When the last
chapter has been read the book is laid down and memories of its characters
remain for days to come.
I am a writer, a
teller of tales, a person of words. I am searching the vastness of life
memories to bring meaning to blank pages.
