I was reading "On Writing" by Stephen King, and came across these two quotes about the beauty of writing. I felt compelled to add it, now that I have a random blog that caters to the very need.

And thus goes one of them,

"Writing is like the water of life! The water is free.
So drink.
Drink up lads, and be filled up!"

It appealed to me because it kind of hinted that writing wasn't an impossibly difficult task. Just like water, it was plentiful. What was really required, was an attempt to visit the word-pool, and fish out your story.

Writing does make one happy. ( Please, let me just harp on it one last time). It might not have any existential value, but it does bring value to your existence! This particular quote was simple, yet hit the nail on the head.


The second quote, which talks about the power of writing goes this way,

"There are no miraculous breakthroughs in writing. Just the ordinary miracles that come with an attempt to create something."


I encounter these ordinary miracles each time I attempt to write.You start off with no idea where you are heading, but before long, you have the characters speaking to you, deciding their own course of action. Its almost as if the story tells itself.

And sometimes, I am amazed. Ordinary miracles such as these, make me happy.
