On Writing

This post may be quite long so keep that in mind. This post is dedicated to all my friends and fellow writers out there. These are my thoughts on writing. If they sound philosophical, so be it.

If you have been a faithful follower of this blog, (if so I congratulate you.) you will know I like to write novels.

As I have been working on my latest novel with an actual curriclum, I've learned so much more as to what writing REALLY is. It's not just the easy vivsion most people have of "sit-and-write-a-bunch-of-words-on-paper" In actuality it's pouring your heart and soul into something you really believe in.

It's a process for hard work, tears, stuggles, writers block, depression (sometimes yes,) and sucess. In the end the product is amazing. A novel packed with your soul. Your words, your inner thoughts. Your novel is a part of you.

I can't say that I have actually had that placed before me, but as I have struggled to come up with the right phrases and ways to make my Hero live right I've had the same problems as everyone else.

Writing is a joy. It can sound like tedious work. And it is. But it is also the most fun you may ever had (if you are a writer). For me, I love seeing the words I've had in my head for a long time finally take shape I just have this inexpressible joy.

I remember the first day I started writing my book. I had been pondering the writing and had most of it pre-written in my head. So it wasn't very hard to write. I remember begin online with my friend and I was chatting with her talking about how I was writing. She was really close to me and I was sharing my first parts of the rough draft. Of course everyone was cheering me on, and telling me how talented and awesome it was.

The thrill I felt was exuberating! I just could not stop smiling! It was just amazing. To tell you the truth I screamed into my pillow quite a few times out happiness. It may have gotten a little out of hand, but my point is... Writing can be just wonderful. As I've said a lot in this post.

Writing is a way to express yourself on paper, through another person's eyes. It's a way to relieve stress. Let out your thoughts. It's just...amazing.
