We dream to be writer’s

Everyone has an opinion. Some of us think the whole world should hear it.

Writing is the way. So we go off on our new quest to enlighten the world with our words of wisdom.

We start with our general knowledge from school. We soon realize this is not writing. We’re putting words on pages be it doesn’t seem to be working.

I guess I’ve got some learning to do.

Off we go searching all over Google. Learning how to write for fun or profit. Do you mean to tell me this writing stuff could be fun and make you money too? You have to know more.

I will admit the thought for this article comes from my own experience. I want this article to be about us, the wanter-be writers looking for that magic moment when it all becomes clear. What makes a writer a writer.

“Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.”

E. L. Doctorow

What do they have that I don’t?

What is the secrete? Many of us that want to write, been avid readers.

Being readers, how many of us stopped to think about the process that the writer went through?
