The Truth About Writing

A few days ago, as I wrote, something profound came to me.

Writing is not JUST writing. Yes, you can sit down and write a story. But, everything before and after is what makes writing… WRITING.

Writing is about the great books you read. It’s about the horrible books you read.

Writing is about the places you go. And the places you cannot go.

Writing is about who you meet. And who you want to meet.

Writing is about television and movies. It’s about the then and now, past, present, and future.

It’s about what is popular. It’s about what is popular to you.

Writing truly is, much more than writing.
