One Hundred Reasons Why I Write

When I was young, I remember going shopping with my mum and buying grocery. If she could not find me in the store she would inevitably find my way with a pen and a notebook. Stationery, pens, magazines have strange charm - even superstition. When I visited my father's office, I sneaked in with secret paper, paper and pencil. On my 7th birthday, I asked for a keyed leather diary. Soon after, my mother gave me an antique roller blind table designed for children, I am in paradise. I feel like a real writer, I wrote my first story on the table.

In other words, when I think of writers and thinking of myriad things to write such urgent actions, I think that this is decided in advance. I feel a phone call to write from my memory. Over the years, I have taken a number of steps in various directions here and there, but I know that writing is always a strong gravity in my life, regardless of my background.

However, the original phone did not say "why". Why spend so much time - Why do you spend most days - and of course you do not usually have much money in this activity that does not offer much social recognition?

I once told my friend that there are at least 100 reasons written. But after I finished I wanted to know if I exaggerated. I found out that I was not. This is the reason for my writing.

As Gloria Stannum said, "Writing is unique, when I do this I think I should not do anything else."

Writer: Things have been written for a long time. I have read hundreds of books. I wrote hundreds of thousands of words. However, I am struggling every day. I devour prose, poetry, and speech is important. I work hard, but I am still struggling to write words that truly stimulate your soul, you know. A word that loses your ability, communicates the word of smile to a depressed face, and makes it immovable words. Author: I can tell you honestly - do you close your marketing skills as well as just podcasts and video blogs and newsletters and online courses? One day I logged in to a place like Medium to find my feed. There were lots of old articles from the same elderly people who are doing the same old chalk conversation. To speak frankly, this is boring.

It is not unusual for people to recommend writing to them every day. History has been written in the journal, and we may have hundreds of reasons for everything. But even when I write "thinking of writing" I do not think there is a truly convincing argument about why we should or should not do that. Indeed, I searched for it, which is what I got: Google showed the results of different discussions to me. Some people argue that unstructured text is producing too many incomplete ideas and works, while the opposition to writing stimulates thinking and provides a structure of customary sentences and thoughts Some believe it will help. All these discussions have in common that they are intended for writers, novelists, people who write for living, or who write for the final product. Reference of Hemingway and Stephen King

And I tried it already. It took a year to try out the snowflake method, froze two paragraphs and write outline of one page just to write real novels. I tried Steven King's "dig" way and went straight to writing another novel that was completely blocked after 15 pages. Then it happened four times again. Three years ago, I realized that the only way to write a novel is to deceive myself. In the coming months, I made a better plan than I expected. If you are also trapped in ideas, outlines, pages 23 or 167, please check if this resolves the issue and you can return to the road.
