Pleasure of Writing

It can happen that when we want to write, we experience a certain pressure, a feeling of duty as a writer, and so we must write.  However, if we can and are able to make writing a pleasure, we eliminate pressure and experience the pleasure of writing. 

To discover the pleasure of writing is easy enough, most times, and when it is not easy, then our creative self is telling us to take a break.  Time out to discover the true writer that we are.

Just like a Play that is scripted well, the main words are dialogue between the characters in the play, yet it is very important to include no words, make room for Silence.

The pleasure of writing is dependent on our honesty, knowing who we are, and what we want to say. Creative writing especially depends on us being able to have fun while we write. We create fictional characters and as best we can give them a history, a life. This is especially important for our Hero, and this wonderful character will need support and encouragement from other characters who have a history and are true to life.

We will love and hate these characters, and enjoy developing them as real people. Imagine the fun it is to be the creator of the lives of our characters.

The pleasure we enjoy in writing will give reality to all that we write about.
