A writer’s point of view
Writing
is not just about “to write”, but to believe in being a writer yourself. More often than not, the biggest obstacle for
new writers is that they don’t think of themselves as writers. They have the difficulty developing the
belief that they are writers and yet it is something that they have to do. When a new writer haven’t developed that belief,
that conviction, it becomes a headwater of havoc or sabotage – he doesn’t give
importance to his own work enough to give it time and space it needs.
If
you want to become a writer, it is given that you have a strong desire or at
least you have the inclination to write. You know that there is something to say but don’t know how to say it or
in what form to express it whether to write it in poetry, essay, novel, etc. Whatever it is, just write something and when
you do just make sure that you put your heart in it. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it doesn’t
have to be neat. It does have to be
expressive. In this way, your readers
could clearly understand what you wanted to say.
In
writing, you always have to consider your readers. It means, you have to show them what you have
written. It may be a friend, a family
member or someone from work. Showing your work to others is a bit hard on your
part. You have these qualms on how the
readers would react to what you had to say. Pay attention to your reader, observe their emotions, did they cry,
laugh or get angry? If so, you just hit
the jackpot! It means you have an effect
with your writing. It is worth something
and that you just have to keep going and improve along the way.
There
was this certain writer who said “I don’t know if my work is any good. I just know that when people read it, they
cry”. You can’t get a message any
clearer than that. Therefore, when you
want to write, just believe in yourself, write something and put your heart in
it.
