Writing is an art just like any other, it’s just like painting or dancing or singing, a writer gets to perform just like an actor/actress, a dancer, a singer, where the pen is the performer and the piece of paper is the stage and the lines are the audience and the words are the act .
I was 5 when I started writing, I know what you are all thinking “ how can you write when you are only 5 years old ?” well who said I used letters , at that age I couldn’t write my name with out making spelling mistakes , I DREW the stories I made up ,surprisingly I still have them , at the age of 11 I wrote my 1st short story which contained of 5 chapters , and I won at school the prize for best story , writing is running in my blood just like my red and white blood cells , through my writing I was able to explain my self and express my feeling more freely and comfortable .
I believe that when a person writes he steps out of this world and in to the world of imagination which isn’t all make believe , contraire , you get the opportunity to live that fantasy and make it come to life , when I write I get the chance to play every role , the good person, the bad , the victim , the murder, the lover ,the mean girl at school ,the queen ,the peasant , the rich , the poor , the smart , the idiot, the hero ,the enemy…..Etc, I get the main role for every role, and at the end the Oscar doesn’t go to anyone but me.
You get to put your self in situations you never got to be in, you visit places you `ve never been to and maybe never will, you get to experience and live the life’s of other people, you learn about the cultures and traditions and languages of other countries, you get to love and hate, win or lose the battle, live or die at the end ….etcWhether what you are writing is a poem,play,story , an article or even a letter, you get to enjoy the magic of writing , that magic which takes over your whole soul , you get to live what you are writing .
I find my self and soul in writing , words are my only weapon , the best way I can express my self is through written words , some may find there soul on stage , others in front of the camera and some other find it in front a portrait , but for myself I find it in front the plane paper which is calling me to fill it with words or wisdom ,sorrow ,happiness and love .
Writing needs rehearsal and practice just like any art “anyone becomes better with practice because practice make perfect “and sometimes that perfect isn’t enough.
we don’t get our legs twisted or vocal cords problems nor do we get our clothes dirty with paint, but we get tired and we feel exhausted, sometimes we have to re-do it all again and start from the scratch again, we stay up all night with the big mug of coffee next to us to keep us awake to review it and reach the best result, we make adjustments and update it every once and a while.
It needs training from professionals that critic our work and encourage us, and there is always the spirit of competition.
If I try to explain the beauty of this amazing art, it will take like a million pages and still won't be enough, for the 1st time words betray me.
After I finished my act , wish almost finished my ink , I take my breath and bow ; I hope my audience enjoyed the feature presentation which was presented by
