The Creative aspect. You create something that was not existing before. You create something out of thin air. Like a magician! A Wizard!
A Wizard in the real word. Yes, a Wizard in the real world! What a Wizard in your story does, you do that in the real world! By writing a story.
You place your baby – the just completed novel of yours - in the hands of others and they love it, it gives you a kick, a high. It – the feeling - is inexplicable.
You are a creator. Like a sculptor, as he sculpts, has a sculpture in hand, I have a brand new thing in hand – my novel just created. And it is a great feeling!
An opportunity to titillate the readers with your writing, your style of writing; by playing with the words. An opportunity to take them high to low, and low to high. Create and take them through different moods, right away. Or different experiences they might or might not have faced so far!
You create an exciting new world with your words. Just by your words! The which to make into a movie will take huge efforts. All of that you accomplish just by your words! Repeat - words. And repeat - words.
For e.g., I wrote in my Novel ‘Land of 7’: “the six sheets of leather transformed themselves into six gems: a green emerald, a red ruby, a blue sapphire, a white pearl, an iridescent opal, and a black diamond. They slowly progressed toward the sword. When they reached the sword, they rapidly circled the golden sword, and then got embedded into it along its length with a thunder. The sword shone brilliantly than ever. It radiated luminous light. The cave was visible as in daylight under its radiance.”
And it takes really a lot of effort to actually show it in a drama or a movie, even if it is graphically! But in actuality, I created, in the mind of the reader, the above - a golden sword with 6 gems embedded into it – with just six words: an emerald, ruby, … That’s all it took me!
Similarly you can create and take the reader to new worlds that directors would perspire to replicate them into their movies. You and you alone have the opportunity to take readers to places existing or existing only in your mind! On a tour.
We do what few people could do – create.
