I'm a writer ...

General ramblings...

Ya know,... and if you didn't I'm gonna tell you... I picked an odd time in world history to become a writer. Why? Hmmm. iPod, video this-that-and-the-other-thing, internet, cable, satellite, FiOS,... other than texting, do people read?

I do. I'm strange that way. Have you noticed how language has changed over the last 100 years? Not that old yet? Me neither. My hair is going white though. But, I have books written just 100 years or less ago and the language has sooo changed ... to include that last phrase. :)

The language of communicating via the printed or 'e' page seems to be a dying art.

Someone encourage me...

Ahh, I'm not gonna stop writin 'cause o' dat. No, I'll keep writing. Just keep reading... m'kay?


Cheers!
Doc.

It is a bit of a strange time to become a writer - but I think, in the teen generation reading and writing may be making a big come back. Both of my teen sisters absolutely love writing, and reading anything they can get their hands on. So do a lot of their friends! It is an encouraging sign...

Having said that, I absolutely love the way Jane Austen and Jules Verne wrote. I wish we had more of that now. Most things are written on an eighth grade level and below. Where is the fun in that? I don't even have to think about what I read anymore! Of course, I don't have too much room to talk, but I do aim for a good medium when I write. I do like your style though - don't give up!

mkay! and you said you weren't a blogger. The thing I love about writers blogging is that that you see the inner quirks and fizzes - all the way cool stuff uncensored and unpolished. They just think differently and true brilliance can be found in their ramblings...keep writing.

A dying art it is. Instant gratification took over a very long time ago. I, myself, just as I MUST write, I also MUST read. Stretch, grow, share and yes, even I must learn. Words are magical. I have a tattoo on my wrist it is the Japanese symbol for "SPIRIT OF THE WORD" which loosely translated says there is magic in the written word... or more specifically "The magic of God is in the written word". It is small and dainty but I look at the tattoo everyday and it means something to me. I am a writer...and you are a writer, and we, as part of a larger collective, must write for the greater good...including but not limited to the growth of our sprit(s).

I don't know if this is encouraging to you, but the world would be missing out on something great were you, Doc, to stop writing.
