It’s
an elementary phrase with a deeper back story behind it for any
writer or reader; why I love reading and writing (and not
arithmetic). There is a quote that I think those who do not write do
not completely comprehend what writing is to writers. It’s not just
a career or a great stress relief; it’s much more indescribable
things. Ask a writer why they write and it’s the only time you may
see a writer becomes wordless. There are many quotes from writers
themselves on the subject of writing and what a better way to get
inspired than by another writers words.
There
is a quote that I many writers can relate too and often feel when
they sit down to put words together. ‘There’s nothing to writing.
All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.’(Walter
Wellesley “Red” Smith) Any writer that reads that quote nods
their head in silent agreement. It is more than just throwing words
out onto the screen; it’s expressing what has engulfed your mind
for minutes, days or even years. The difference between writers and
non-writers is that writers can take one word or thought and turn it
into something more; writer’s brains never stop ‘A writer never
has a vacation. For a writer life consists of either writing or
thinking about writing.’(Eugene Ionesco)
There
come challenges and expectations from outsiders that writers are to
perform and make words flow. Sometimes it’s not that easy because
writers put expectations on themselves to create a piece of work that
not only pleases themselves but others. Writers must remember that
it’s not easy and something only few successfully accomplish.
“I
think you must remember that a writer is a simple-minded person to
begin with and go on that basis. He's not a great mind, he's not a
great thinker, he's not a great philosopher, he's a story-teller”
(Erskine Caldwell)So when the writing gets tough and the infamous
block appears, step back and take some time. Your brain won’t stop
but the pressures you put on yourself will. Take a break and start
over because with words you can’t ever say enough and ever say the
right thing.
