The Writing Process
CLACK.CLACK.CLACK. The sound of my fingers rhythimitally pressing the keyboard is now stuck in my brain. My finger easily slides over to the lowercase small words etched to the upper right. Delete. My least favorite button option, but unfortunently the most commonly used. Now the only thing I can peer at is the line flashing after every half a second, reminding me of how I am failing to unravel the characters, plots and detailed scenes that are trapped inside my brain. Sometimes, it feels as if to use these tools are prisoners you have to unlock them from inside of your brain. How? I do not know. I glance at the practically blank pixels and my fingers scramble to construct a paragraph. Then with a long pause I returned to the blank expressionless void of white. You have a will for your work to be uniqe. Distinct. Do not remain at the obvious theme or genre. Do not create a piece that resembles the others. Do not think just out of the box but think around or below the box. You have to construct a narrative that poses different perspectives on the traditional expected paper. Possibly beginning with a surprising unrelated topic and then connect it in the conclusion. You want to form it so it opens new ideas and questions, adding relatable instances to engage the readers like you. Did I engage you with this? Did it compel you?
