I have decided to call myself a life-writer - self-explanatorily, one who writes about life. The best poets are those who base their works on real-life experiences. My goal is to become a great writer, if at all possible. How do I plan to achieve that?
1. Live day by day. I simply can't afford to miss out on anything that happens around me. If I rush life by, then I might be passing up an opportunity to write something amazing.
2. Observe. Observe those around me, paying careful attention to details such as language, emotion, and character.
3. Read. In order to become a great writer, I have to read what I want to write. Presently, I find myself gaining inspiration from writers such as Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Poe.
I hope that this post can serve as a reminder to me of what I want to become. I also hope that I may be able to help a fellow aspiring writer. Maybe that has already happened? I guess I will never know.
