Writing is not just scribbling on paper, it is an art of penning down your thoughts in such a way that reader flies to your world and witnesses your thoughts. Writing is generally considered to be ‘a must’ for journalism students, but for me it is more than just a hobby. Penning down thoughts is one way of re-living your world in your own words. A world which can be created; preserved and destroyed by you, that is the power of words. Isn’t it amazing? Words help you to travel in imagination that is yours and the imagination which you can pass on to others just through your words.
Writing also educates people, one just gets an idea of creative writing with practice and it also enhances your way of thinking. Writing helps one to explore himself to bits. I am not agreeing to the world that claim writing is easy, IT IS NOT! It takes a fresh mind and a free heart to pen down your thoughts.
If you have the competency to express what you feel and touch other’s hearts through your writing, you are one of the most influential people of the world! It’s an art and a lot of science goes behind creating it.
Nelson Mandela said, ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’.
The world has produced many life changing writers & these people have brought about a revolution socially, economically and politically through their writing. Let’s look at some of the most prolific writers of all times:
William Shakespeare
Homer
Leo Tolstoy
Charles Dickens
John Milton
William Yeats
Virginia Woolf
Alexander Pope
Joseph Conrad
Mark Twain
Writing has the power through which, a writer and a reader both travel to a world of fiction and at the same time, are glued to the reality of the world. Isn’t that amazing?
