The Art

a note to all writers and non-writers

 A dream is a memory that we wish never happened, to dream is to be scared of the world in front of you, so we dream to escape the reality that is life, sometimes we can control this fantasy life we create in out mind, we imagine that we re married to a beautiful woman living in a mansion, with a thousand sports cars in your drive way.

But I reality you  are a college kid working to get through medial school.

        Then there are us, the writers. We see our selves as adventurers out in a world filled with suspense and wonder, we can be the man living alone in his mansion who writes on his desk all day long never leaving his home, or the Sunday school teacher who writes about a blood thirsty vampire who is in love with a young innocent girl, 

        The bus driver who jots down a few dialog lines who dreams of putting his writing into a motion picture on the big screen, or the cheerleader who writes of her love for the football star and her erotic fantasies of laying next to him spent after a night of passionate love-making.

        The boy sitting alone in the back of the classroom who wants to be taken away on an amazing adventure into a new and exciting world, or the young woman who has had a hard life and nothing takes the pain away like a pen, spreading the ink of her life on the fiber paper sitting on her desk, or in his lap, or on the kitchen counter, on a computer screen or a legal pad, or a small notebook, or a diary which only she/he holds the key to, a spiral note book, or maybe even it is sitting on the shelf at his/her local bookstore, and she/he is there to sign their name on the front of a hard work filled hard back copy of her, his, their, story.

        And why would we, the writers, the novelists, the poets and musicians give our hard work to the public for a measly fee of nine ninety-five?  

        The answer is simple, we write for those who want to control there imagination, we write so we can be remembered forever as the author or poet, or musician, the spokesmen, the president, the debater, the rapper, the artist.

 

 

 

-remember, writing is not a job, not a chore, its not homework or a duty, writing is and always will be, an art. And everyone has a story the want to write-

Haha yes it was =] More of a musing. But a very well thought of musing. Some people just think of writing as 'self-expression' and get done with it. Well it is true in a way, but i like the way you put it. Its an art alright. I think writing is a way of transporting yourself to a far away place, to make something come alive, the way it speaks thinks breathes... exhillirating isn't it? . =]
great job.

Your words are true. Many kinds of art. In the ancient time. The word-man were needed to pass the new of the day. Today we need more word-man to insure world stay on track for the next generation. You last line is fact.

No, No, I kid. Well half, you really do need to go through it. But these are certainly some inspiring musings. Well done!

I write to express myself mainly

Ah the dreaming nature in us all. Let the children sleep, for in sleep we dream forth worlds of pure beauty and pure clarity. I like the concept, the escape from reality, by bending reality to you will, a clever and absurdly great read. well done
