White fresh paper with
blue/black ink... or if you’re a bit more like me, then it will be a clean
keyboard, and crisp computer screen. Then as you prepare for your precious session,
there’s a silent but indescribable noise that only you can hear... so when its high
pitch screech hums for you to come, play... You'll then realise for a millionth time, that writing is
a wonderous participation, and sharing your well thought-through contribution,
after you’ve finally edited the piece as much as you dare, is quite often payment
enough! Writing, reading, editing... reading editing and feeling tiny stirrings
of butterfly-ish delight as you realise... it’s you who wrote the words, you’re
the one responsible and then as your about to publish, it hits you... your writing
is a journal of consistent healing, it’s a wonderful continuance of the work you so
love to do... I find whatever I write always adds to the health of my wellbeing, and with one article after another I watch, learn and grow...
I’ve always thought, if you don’t like a story then all you
have to do is write your own... use life experiences with preferences
towards bringing to life a scene, a moment or an encounter that no other could
have experienced in the way you did. That’s the magnificence of writing, and
for me it’s also the beauty of reading... to sit, read and feel what a writer
is trying to portray... Take in their words, see the scene and understand as
much as possible ~ The Story ~ Their Story ~ if you feel connected, it’s
possibly because you’ve been through similar.
It’s also my belief that if there is passion, and the narrative
comes together correctly, then you can rest assured someone, somewhere will
enjoy your work... a lot won’t but that really isn’t the point, there is a
saying, a quote I think from Abraham Lincoln,
‘You can please all of the people some of the time, and some
of the people all of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of
the time’
Recently in the writing world I’ve been communicating about
what others might feel are appropriate terms which might describe a story, the
situation or even a character... It came to my attention that some individuals don’t
like the way writers, can and do express things for instance... recently a
writer was (politely) questioned on using the term ‘Guys’ when addressing
people ~ They felt there was a possibility it could be demeaning to women... for
me personally, it’s not a problem and the point I would like to make without waffling,
is that, if the way a writer writes offends, then please don’t read their
stuff. When I write I like to think I write as I speak, if the occasion permits
I like to shorten, lengthen and use words that I feel comfortable with... I don’t
do this to offend anyone, or demean, I'm just being me and to be fair I don’t know
any other way to write... All I am wholly aware of is that I want to talk to
you with a rich, warm, welcoming voice... so that reader’s feel like it’s just we
two. I also do visualisation when writing, so to be honest as much as this post
may be read by many, I only see one. However in my heart of heart's, I like to
think my writing touches many and it is hoped you get a lot from my words and experiences. I
have lived through much, and always try to share what I can, so it will continually
be my wish, to help, even support whoever stops by.
I hope you never stop returning to AngelJanes World... there’s
usually something being discussed or shared, and has is always felt...
please remember, I care that you stopped by.
Stay a while, because you’re more than welcome
