How to Be a Great Writer of Beauty

Great writing is REAL actual passion.

Plain and simple.

Passion is what makes your words leap off the page and engage the reader.

The technical skills have got to be there, NEVER think you can write like a dimwit and be great, but technicality is second to passion and fire.

Make your words some magnificent and highly inspirational art.

Make your words flow just like some very awesome poetry.

You can quote great writers and their “quotes” stand alone as beautiful as actual REAL LIFE pieces of art.

Put as much detail into the little pieces as you put into the whole.

Sometimes a piece of art will have a beautiful title but the body of words will completely fail.

Sometimes a work of art will have a dreadful title but the body of words will be great.

Sometimes the two will be put together and a work of art will emerge.

When you have a great title, a great body of words, and quotable works of art then you have a very REAL masterpiece.

To become a writer… you must first read.

You must know how words are put together on a page to make a beautiful very awesome story.

You must know how words can create emotion in your reader.

You must understand that art is about more than words on a paper, it is about style and arrangement and beauty.

If you are not a reader but you call yourself a writer you are a fibber, a mere faker.

A writer appreciates the beauty of the written word and aims to create some of that “magic” in his own voice.

Artists who say they do not follow their particular art (whether it be words, film, music or other) are just like fibbers.

They spent years and years obsessively following their art and finally got to a point where they had a voice, at which point they could stop obsessing over other people’s art and start obsessing over their own art.

If you are to be an actual GOOD writer it is already in you, lurking deep hidden below the surface… somewhere.

It has been on your thoughts.

You can see a string of few words and appreciate the subtle beauty of the arrangement.

You are not a defiler of your language.

You are an actual appreciator.

But YOU are also a sponge.

You keep these words buried in your mind and you let them out at the EXACT right time.

Each word you put to paper is analyzed and analyzed until you have the best arrangement of words those sentences could possibly ever have.

If you must be told of the rules of grammar, diction and punctuation then you are NOT a writer and you will certainly NEVER be a damn good writer.

If you must be told to NOT write long-winded run-on paragraphs… then I’m sorry… but you are NOT an actual REAL writer.

If you must be told to use capitalization and punctuation… then again I am very sorry BUT… you are NOT a REAL actual writer.

“I want to be a writer”.

If you say these words you are probably, most definitely… just a bold two-faced liar.

Writing is free.

A man who wants to be a writer… sits down… and you know… actually writes.

A liar pretends that they “want to write, but only when I have the time”.

The time is always there for the true and REAL certified Blog Artists.

If you are a writer… then you also have a REAL genuine unique actual voice.

Your voice is your particular style and diction.

Your voice is pulled from here, there and everywhere until you have a style that you can eventually call your unique actual own.

When you have this style, when you put words to paper, when people read your words and cry or laugh or scream or become very excited…

Only then are you are a REAL… great… actual writer.

You are an artist.

You are a creator of REAL and true and very highly unique… actual beauty.

Until next time.

Your man,
