JDC Art of Writing: No, says the professional - Yes says the layman.
There are no short-cuts on the roller coaster ride to the title: author and writer. Those who believe so, are doomed in the world of the literary.
To be a successful Writer one must feel the call from within and be willing to pay the price to succeed in a competitive industry where few attain the status with the big bucks.
The desire to write, auspiciously rises from the soul's depths, ever unyielding, throbbing, a disguised yearning to create from the avenues and crossroads called life; from the mind's dark side, to angelic reaches beyond, to produce its own brand of success...be it minuscule, be it great.
If not for the love of writing, blank pages would be no more than a mirrored reflection of nothingness, unrecorded events of man's existence and the external wonderment of an ever diagnostic world laying open vast secrets to be discovered and challenged.
The many faces of beauty and its emotional moments of excitement, happiness, laughter, and hopes would never have touched man's heart...if it weren't for one human, like a painter, clicking out words, strokes of imagination, with a play on words, and a fountain of endless thought, feeling, emotion and quests into the unknown.
Many writers believe pacifying oneself is a "pity party" keeping a writer in a limbo of non-productive days. Using the art of excuse to avoid steps of growth in the learning process, the creation of ideas or just getting started. This state of procrastination is the writer's worst enemy
Anyone can pen the written word and find they enjoy it. To whip across the keyboard, in a blazing flame of creativity and intrigue capable of attracting and keeping a reader's attention...requires knowing how to get from A to Z and then some.
The prize goes to the one who has the guts to learn what it means to be a writer, what it takes to be able to open the door to the editor's office of publication - and then, d*** it, do it! Prioritize...
