Writing is THE life…
So who agrees with me on that?
Writing is THE life! I especially realized that when I’ve been working on my entry for the Claude Monet contest. (Eep, hope I get it done in time! XD) It’s so much of a therapy, and it allows you to discover facets of yourself that you didn’t know existed. One of the things that I love most about writing is that I can write things from my very soul and no that no one will ridicule me for it. It’s a great way to get out feelings (talking to yourself is too), and it’s helped me so much over this past week. I’m going through a lot of emotional drama right now, and I can create a world where that drama all comes out right. I can place bits of my heart into other characters, kind of like a mother does to her child.
I’m just so blessed to have the ability to write. God has given me that gift, and I intend to put it to the best use possible. I don’t want to misuse it by writing immoral things and the like; I believe writing is the ultimate expression of beauty. Some use chisels to carve out aesthetics; I use words. But as with anything, it takes practice. I’ve been coming to appreciate the difference between talking about writing and actually writing writing. Writing writing is the best way to go, trust me.
Just a writer’s thoughts on writing itself.

I’m with you, writing is life. I use my writing to express a lot of things about me that I don’t normally show, and as I pay more attention to myself and my ideas, I realize I am actually telling a lot more than I realize. Subconsciously, I’m getting a lot of myself “out” and into my writing. Characters have my personality traits, my fears, my thoughts and feelings. It’s odd to realize it, but comforting because you can “act out” your own life, in a manner more pleasing.
As for immoral writing? I can’t really say anything on that subject ^^’ I tend to find some odd beauty in the taboo subjects, perhaps simply because they are taboo and meant to be untouchable.
