Dico Ergo Sum
Cogito ergo sum does not suffice. Thought isn't what most defines our humanity, our intelligence, in my humble opinion. Dico - "I say" - is more fitting. To write is to express one's humanity in the most natural and powerful way, I think. I mean, I say. Ergo sum a supporter of new writers because of how pure and human their craft of choice is. Everyone is a new writer and within everyone lives a bestseller - a legendary author. But a jug fills drop by drop, as Gautama Buddha reminds, and everyone must begin somewhere. And it's that beginning - the inception - that I love most especially in the case of writers. I look for a sense of spiritual and existential adventure in new writers. The deeper, the more psychological and "meta" the content, the better. Language is a magic - a means to cast psychological spells and affect the wave-particles around one with whatever combination of words. Magic words.
