How to Become a Writer Writing

Gertrude Stein wrote, “Writing is writing is writing is writing is writing is writing is writing.” (He also wrote, “Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose”). The purpose is not another word that is written is a matter of writing, from beginning to end. That writing is writing. Basic writing. How do I start writing? Write. How can continue to write? I continue to write.

Unfortunately, many of us assume it is not as it seems. Problematic when we will start writing, we can be problematic to continue to write, and often times we give up the course, enthusiasm and tenacity we gradually disappear, as the rivers dry up.

However, because the writing is in the heart, soul, and our DNA, after several weeks or months or even years, we are excited to write back. Even more zealous of the previous, and at that time, we can maintain the spirit of the writing.

Maybe we like it or may not. From my experience as a teacher, many people often can not maintain the enthusiasm. For some people, the spirit of the cycle as the write occurs repeatedly. Because we are not consistent, we began to judge themselves as people who do not write a talented, self-involved we terbuang-sheet with a sheet of paper that we throw to the trash, and then we can be more difficult to start writing. This makes the heart sick. Because we are writers and we are not full time – when there are parts in which we lost ourselves – we can never feel comfortable in the world, there is no peace in themselves. Writing is our lives. Indeed, not all of life, but it is enough to make us feel not does not write full time.

Here CLAIMS AS AUTHOR

You will never be the author (and continue to write) until you call yourself as an author.

Most writers I know, that his work is not particularly terpublikasi, said, “I want to be writers.” Or, “I am … I love to write.” Or, “It is long I want to become writers.” However, they do not call themselves as writers. Think of words to call you: male / female, mother / father, wife / husband, friends, teachers, technicians, masseuse, lawyer, gardener, chef. We use words to introduce ourselves, both to others and to ourselves. For what we called ourselves, that we. In some cultures, the new name given when someone changes. The new name that suggests that he has changed. If you call yourself a writer, not just say what you want to be like you, you will change. Try. Now. Teriakkan your name with a hard and followed the words, “I am the author.” Let yourself experience the sensation you feel when you do so. “But tulisanku not have the terpublikasi,” You may say such, as if that gives you the right to call yourself as the author. Moreover, when you say to others that you are the author, they will surely ask, “Oh, writing what ever you publish?”

Listen, any posts that are published do not have a relationship with the author! Publications related to the money as an author. Perhaps also with public recognition and kemashyuran. Although correct, most of the published writings of the author and do not get too much money or even famous. We may say, terpublikasi is terpublikasi is terpublikasi. In fact, terpublikasi is the goal most of us. However, it is not a reason to write us. We write therefore we should do. Anne Sexton said, “When I write, I do things that I should do.”

Moreover, any posts sekalinya we published, does not mean it makes us stop writing. We will continue to write. That the author did. I have a vision like that when you write, I write and continue writing. As the ancient joke said, “the author never die old, they continue to improve the end of his writings.”

How do you claim Arts Writer For You?

First, saying, “I am the author.” Say it with loud. Say in your own self in front of the mirror. Tell the family and your friends. Tell the people you meet at parties who ask, “What’s your job?” Tell the stranger when you mengantri at wholesale stores. Tell your mother on. Say most often on your own, “I am the author.”

Select a place to write, sacred place where you feel comfortable, not feel terbeban. If you do not have a space like that, then make. Use a room full or a part of the room as you write. Before making room tulisnya, Wendy friends using the divider to separate the place with the writing room. When you have the space to write your own, or take it and light candles, or flowers, anything that can make your room a unique. Make senyaman possible.

Take the tools you need. Esteem your writing to the paper or agenda that you like. Buy high quality pen that you always impi-impikan. Purchase a special computer for your own machine and print it. Prepare the dictionary, the dictionary tesaurus, and books EyD quality. Find quality books and journals to write subscribe.

Interact with other writers. Berinteraksilah with them. Surati author of a book that you admire (not as a fan, but as a fellow author). Take seminars and workshops. Join the group of authors.

Read as the author. Learning from the best. Learn your favorite author, and copy some of his writings to be able to feel the rhythm and style of writings. Pilah-pilah sentences, paragraphs, and chapters on the writings to find the secret techniques and write. In addition to writing, reading any posts that it will be your best teacher.

Set Time for Writing

The second case you need to do to become the author who is writing with the time to write. You will never write if you do not take the time to write. Never say, “I will write soon.” You will never write that like that. For 25 years before this writing, I am a person who is always like that, and therefore I can not ever begin to write. That does not happen again after I set the time to write regularly so that I can become an author who writes.

Set the time to write, write on your calendar: Monday 14:00; 09.15 Tuesday, Wednesday … and so on.

Find a suitable time with you. Do not set the time to write for two hours if you only stand for half an hour. Do not set the alarm at 05.30 in the morning when you wake up the morning is difficult and does not like atmosphere morning. Similarly, do not say if you will write at night after all the work you are wrong if at the time you usually lie on the sofa and could not hold drowsiness. Search the support. Take a half-time from your lunch hour. Menulislah directly after work. Get up a half hour earlier. If you have the freedom to manage your time, set the time to write during work hours.

Students in kelasku said that they do not have time to write. Then I ask those who regularly watch TV and the Internet to play the hand. Many of the lift. I ask again, “Then who does not have time to write?” All meresponinya with a grimace. Menulislah than watch TV, play internet, read newspapers, play with friends. You have to sacrifice some of your time to write.

Note: Do not korbankan time to walk and see the sunset.

You may have often heard that if you want to become a writer, you must write every day. That’s not the price. But indeed there are some rules that must be made to the author. To be the author (ie the authors who write), you must write several times a week – at least four or five times, more good if each day. Akan’s easier to write by writing regularly. You will be better when you do something with often. Mic Jagger said, “You have to sing every day in order to become, yes … it is great.”

Like berolah sport, berdiet, or course, sometimes the writing exercises will be more easily done with a friend. Make an appointment with a friend to write. If you and your friend can not write together in one place, each call or send e-mail and said, “I write today” or “I will write on at 20:30 tonight” or “How menulismu this day?”.

Do not wait for your new inspiration came to write. Futile. When you appear in front of your paper, inpirasi akan come to you. There is a saying, “Writing is 20 percent inspiration and 80 percent perspiration.” Moreover, if the exercise is to write your day-to-day, you do not need inspiration to start writing.

Write

Finally, the third step to be the author who is writing, of course, write themselves. Discuss about the writing is not writing. Thinking about writing is not writing. Visions of a dream or not to write. Create a framework, research, and also make a note not to write. All that may be part of the writing and required to write, but writing is so writing.

“You can not just sit-sit and think,” said David Long fiction writers, “You must sit down and write.”

So every day, at the time that has been defined (or not set the previous / spontaneous), Sit at your desk (or table in the cafe or on the grass in the garden), and menulislah.

Do it every day, and I guarantee, you will continue to run out of writing paper, you will start and finish a lot of stories, essays, narrative nonfiksi – anything that you want to write. Your imagination to akan everywhere and craze. You will become an author who writes.
