Writing is easy


Wake up in the morning, down your feet from your bed, take your slipers and go to bathroom. That?s just the simple way to start the day for common people.
Writing would be so easy if you do that like your ordinary activity. Find out an interesting topic from your life, and then just write it down on your writing gadget. It?s not hard to find an idea, God gives HIS creatures a life, a heart of loving, brain to solve their problem, and all of them are contains so many-many idea that inspiring you and everyone surround you.
Everything that HE gave to you is a lesson for you and your community, so don?t keep it from them. Share with them and they would be spread to the other. Don?t be so stingy to share, that?s the clue to be a good writer.
Writing is an interesting activity. You can tell to everyone what you see, what you feel, and what you heard. To be a great writer, you have to influence your reader with your word. Take them out of their ordinary live and bring them a new experience. And for that reason, I want to share you a writing technique, original from my self, and never published on the other book, journal, or blog. Haha? Let?s start writing technique from newbie.
First, do you have a pattern for writing? Forget it!
So many-many people graduated from language faculty knew the writing technique, but no one publish their book. How many book of langguage available on your neigborhood book store? Most of them are economic book, magazine, newspaper, and maybe the cartonist dominate them with Japanese cartoon and caricature. To do writing is just like how to prepare a breakfast. They have a pattern but the pattern was embedded in you. To serve a breakfast, anybody can start it with prepare a toaster, bread, margarine, peanut jam, cheese, some vegetables, milk, or fresh juice. Which one you prepare it first? Toast the bread? Make a fresh juice? Or washing the fruit? Everybody can start it with many-many combination and that was an art. So? writing is art too. The pattern is important? Not more.
Second, can you feel your writing?
This is the most important for every writer. Writing is telling something to others. If you speaking English to people that have ability in English, they would understand what you want. You may not explain your word to them, because you are sure that they know what you speak. If you speak in English and you are realize that the community can not speak English, you can use your hand and gesture of your body to explain what you speak. In Indonesia, we call it ?Tarzan style?.
If you want to share a story with other, take them to be you. Make them to feel you, and give them a fantasy of pretending that they are you or someone near you. Writing is hypnotizing, influencing, and entertaining. Is it interesting?
Third, is it needed number third? No! That?s only two steps to start writing. Be a great writer.
