    the best bit about writing is

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by katina, Jun 7, 2018.

    complete the rest of the sentence
    it goes like this:

    the best bit about writing is when I get to the end of a poem/story and I start getting rid off words I don't feel are
    appropriate.
    I call it word pruning.



    your turn :)

    The best bit about writing is when those thousand of ideas, and scraps of dialogue, and character concepts start to coalesce into a new story in your mind, like a planet forming out of space dust.

    The best bit about writing is the research, and the interesting people I meet while researching.

    The best bit about writing is getting that "purple" feeling. Teleporting into another world, into another "you's".

    The best bit about writing is the power it gives you. It gives you the power to change minds, share knowledge, communicate, and express what otherwise might be impossible to get across to other people.

    The best bit about writing is that it's something I wholly control. As someone who has dealt with depression, anxiety, and ADHD practically my whole life, it can be hard to believe you're in control of the world around you. However, when you're writing, you control everything for that hour, day, week, or month as you write. It's empowering and can give me a sense of control that serves to calm my frantic mind and leave me in a peaceful state.

    The best bit about writing is getting to know your characters and feeling like they could be real people because you know them so well.

    The best bit about writing for me is when I hit upon a perfect, beautiful sentence or paragraph that really sings to me. That kind of passage startles me, wakes me up, and draws my focus intensely into the story and the characters.

    The best bit about writing is when the story takes its own path and you find yourself in a place you never would have expected.

    The best bit about writing is creating worlds with scope, depth, texture, history, and life, and then populating them with fascinating people.
