The Art of Writing

Writing is not just about making correct sentence structures, using correct punctuations, forming coherent paragraphs and all that - it's more of conjuring brilliant ideas and arguments. These factors are actually the ones that give writing its purpose and is consequently what writing itself wants the readers to see.

The very essence of writing is to create something out of the writer's expression rather than to conform with the reader's interest or the critic's standards. Alienating the writer to his writing is like asking for something completely pointless, which makes the writing useless and the writer equally in shame.

Language should be a medium to freely express one's self and not a hindrance to voicing out one's thoughts. Learning how to use the language is more important than learning how to say it, for speaking something out that's meaningless forfeits the language of significance.

The very meaning of this art is making itself meaningful.

Conversely though, making an art is trying to sell people shit.
