WHO IS A WRITER ?
Have you ever wondered how life would have been if we never had writers, if there were no stories, novels movies, you might be wondering how come I have linked movies to a writer after all movies are in motion and interesting, well without a writer there can't be a movie. Movies are planned and thought of by writers, then broken down to scripts that people use when acting. It sounds so easy when reading novels, mostly we even judge and try control some parts, like if the chapter is ending we wish there was more and blame the writer, or if the chapters are not going the way we want. It's like in football, when players are on the pitch and you are supporting your team, it's very easy to control from outside, even get very angry when we match is not going our way. Art and writing, how is it really done?.
THE PROCESS OF WRITING
Some years back I was walking from school; tired and hungry. I came across some kids from a different school aguing about a topic I had some knowledge about, the both of them kept aguing for the wrong, no one was correct, they kept on until I was so irritated, I thought of controlling them but they were not my friends they would probably shout at me if I tried to do something, or even beat me ( I thought to myself) then I saw a bench where people rested when waiting for a bus, and I just went on and sat there thinking too deeply, before I could know it I found myself Writing on a piece the whole thing I just witnessed, now I was about 12 years old at the time. I wrote and wrote and it felt so good. Since then I could always write something down that happened whenever I came back from school, sometimes even what was happening home.
Writing is an art that not anyone has, everyone can write on a paper but writers are very different. It's a talent some thought of inspiration takes place whenever a writer puts a pen on paper. There were different types of writers, technical, fictious and many, all get motivated to write about something a time. If you ask clearly something triggers them to come up with a topic, sometimes it's when bathing how water is flashing then someone starts Writing about "water" or imaginations of how it could be if". There is no proper way or process of writing, you just write. Sometimes you are moving a thought comes in then you feel like Writing it, now maybe because of your location you can't write down you think of keeping it to write when it's conducive, you get comfortable then the thought just disappears. That's why it is very advisable for a writer to always move with a writing pad or somewhere you can put whatever comes to mind during the day's work. There phones but in case power runs out what happens.
If you discover you can write do you, it's an interesting talent that not anyone has. Written word is one that can stand for ages, don't keep your ideas, they may just put a smile on someone somewhere.
PROBLEMS WRITERS FACE
With the coming of Internet and technology there is a huge competition in the publishing industry. There so many writers out there, that it's scairy to even think of yourself getting above the pressure. Each one has a set of genes no one has. Science say DNA the way everyone has a different set of it is how different of writers we are. Many people can write very good article and books but no one can write like you so never feel down. Do what you can how you can you never know you may just change a life through your work. Writers like any other professionals face some troubles, I have tabulated a list below.
- Lack of market due to high numbers of writers
- Lack of being published because some publishers only want a specific way of Writing not all accommodate variety
- Writer's block
- Copyright there so many thieves of information out there
- Low employment rates
- No motivation from family and friends
- Lack support and some end up losing it.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WRITER AND AN AUTHOR
Many people wonder why or how there two terms vary. You would find that that people call themselves writers and some authors and you get to wonder are they the same?
A writer like I said earlier is a person who puts down ideas to create something interesting. But there many types of writers with different talents.
An author on the other hand is a published writer, or a writer who has gone through the process of publishing, the copywriter, can be books, files, or any literature.
An author is a writer but not all writers are authors
Wow well put I have learnt something
