Understanding the craft.

Words, there are millions upon millions of words in this world. Words of different languages, different meanings words are what shape our understanding of things. Words are all around us. and understanding how to use those words and what they truly mean is imperative to creating an all encompassing reality in your story. an awesome quote from one of my favorite movies V for Vendetta is said by the character V. "Words are of the means to meaning and for those who will listen the enunciation of truth." every time I listen to that line it hits a chord somewhere. In a sense he means words are freedom they let the mind travel through the imaginary world. It lets people think and open their minds up to new ideas. That is what I want my writing to do I want people when they read my work to SEE. I want it to open their eyes to something that they had never seen before something that can rocket them away from their current situation and transport them to a place that changes the way they perceive the world. I want my writing to bolster the imagination of people because imagination creates change. Imagination, creativity, and ingenuity can be catalysts for this ever changing world to push it in the right direction. For some including myself believe that writing is something that only talented people can do and for the most talent plays a huge factor but nothing is done without practice and be able to create words and story in this way will take hard work that I'm not looking forward to too be honest but I know it has to be done. Practice in the sense that I'm using it is not the forced practice of school I'm talking about something that opens up your creative senses something that forces you to think without fear of the thoughts that crawl into your mind. Practice in this sense is the pathway to creating something that makes those who read it "open their eyes to see and their ears to hear and their hearts to change". I can thank Jesus for those words taken from the book of Matthew. Think about that for yourself, think about how words impact you everyday. And maybe together we can use the power of words to fix this world.
