Something magical about writing
Something magical about writing
People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it.
– Harlan Ellison

maybe that’s why i haven’t been able to fulfill my youth dream …. writing is magical to me; even a short, rather dry, factual sentence like this one gives me that feeling 🙂
ohhh nice…Then Howz your writing experience?
well i have always wanted to be a kind of poetical guy. But in a way i couldn’t get there where i wanted to be. I have always written quite a lot of (paper) letters. Those times have got lost in this digital era. But the latest years internet brought me back to writing. Just mails to several friends who share some of my interests. The magic of writing is still there. I always say writing is the right tempo for me to follow my own thoughts. It brings me to hidden gardens which are apparently owned by me. The result of writing is always surprising me. That’s the great magic. You start a sentence, you start a letter and you don’t know where it will bring you (well at least i don’;t know; i never have a real subject when i start writing — that’s probably the reason for my stagnation :D); but it’s always a nice travelling around and a joy to discover your unknown areas. …

For me, writing is kinda magical cos it requires more than skill. Looking at myself, I am one person who loves talking and writing relationship/sex matter, i would have love to be more descriptive in writing sexually issues, but i just find myself giving info on surface level.
Great work Gistti…way of writing about relationship/sex matter i s difficult job right?
Thanks Cyril
gistti: 50 shades of grey did alright! Who knows when success will strike in the mysterious world of writing?? Just keep going and don’t give up!
I guess it happens different for everyone. When I sat to write my first novel, I had a story in mind, and soon, a character was rebellious enough to change himself, and change the story – I ended up writing his story.
During your stories at start to end time…the character will change..So writing power is a god’s gift right?
Thanks Cyril
It depends on the beliefs of the writer, for some it may be God, the Universe, the Creator, the Muse, the Mind, the Higher Self, Nature, the hardwork from a very detailed outline … I guess inspiration comes from everywhere, and yes, I consider it a gift.
Really…thats the great gift from god.
Hey Inkspeare How do you begin a novel?
Well, for the first one, I had a story in mind, but it changed (one of the characters directed me on a totally different route). For the following stories, which are the trilogy, part of the world was already there, so I followed, however, when I start writing, I sit down, say a silent prayer, and let the hands take over the keyboard, until I feel that I stopped for the moment. I could write again that day, or not, and continue the following day. That is how I do it. Don’t know if it makes sense, as I have read many different ways in which writers approach their novels. Some make long outlines, others do not. My very short outlines happen during the writing, and mostly to keep track of stuff names, dates, ages …
Great tips Lnkspeare if u can write articles through our blog.

YEP. Very true.
For me, writing is the magic my soul makes when I stop trying to figure out why. 🙂
