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)
