The art of writing
This topic has different sight point with The art of writing blogs, that i have posted before, in this post has more common theme.
Let’s start by asserting that writing is synonymous with reading, i.e., according to modern theories of reading a person so disciplined when reading or informal, but always with taste and pleasure, this person unconsciously while also being written. We can not imagine a writer if you do not have an extensive background in general and especially years and even decades of reading about all of the great masters of world literature, Latin American and Ecuadorian. So simple yet so profound José Martí stated that “Reading is walking and writing is promoted, in terms of either carried or guided reading this sentence tells us implicitly that it does not read does not walk, that is not developed in the human scale and therefore can not write, understand that writing can and should be required of any student or professional in any discipline but do not take the job as a profession.
Come by. If reading is tantamount to writing and vice versa, so basically all we can be potential readers and writers, however, one thing is to read or study this or that subject and there is a healthy read for pleasure travel to other worlds of meet real or imagined, to share the follies and heroic characters mythical, legendary or fictional where really our soul and our spirit is fed from other worlds and ordinary lives that reality sometimes does not offer. Humans by nature biological, mental and spiritual need of fiction, as well as allegories and metaphors need to better understand the world and existence, everyday language is limited and extremely dangerous if not study nature and its rules and laws, as far as we know also how the grammar of our language and also understand how our way of thinking, to imagine, and where we go.
However, learning to learn what makes a particular topic that has no real motivation forget just around the corner, instead they read for pleasure or satisfaction of their own volition and that human being gradually becomes not only an educated person but also a lover of wisdom who can become a wise man, and we know the existence to encounter with a wise man mission is very difficult and sometimes impossible in societies and depressed economic emergency and unmet basic needs that we must fulfill.
So to read and write what is recommended to start in adolescence and early youth, because as I said Gabriel García Márquez “old parrot does not learn to talk,” without forgetting that every rule has its exception.
Difference between good and write the real art
It is true that with effort, with an iron will and discipline we can develop the habit of reading and writing well-credit, i.e. write well for a period or a specified time, and there are writers who are famous as well as have any musical artist of fashion by five, ten, twenty years but the true artist writer is eternal, nothing more than fashion and over time increase their fame and influence not only their culture and country but also in the world. There is an unfathomable abyss, and that he described as terrible as the spirit and body suffer chills and enter a dark, dark world through which we reach enlightenment, God in a very complex, but this is invisible bridge that gap plain or the writer who writes good it really is an artist of the written word.
At least this is my understanding of the craft of art of writing. In my early days as a writer when I read a book a night, and dawn when I develop a paragraph or a line, I suffered extremely physically and spiritually, I can not in any way that I found it easy to write, has been a tortuous and still is looking for because, at least when I write literature, perfection in the pace, intensity, plot, dramatic structure, in the syntax of the characters and so many things I have written a work of art, all this experience also I have created a way of being, a human profile. I am a man of constant crisis in the emotional and existential, which means that not every writer who writes artist or writer must pass the same experience, but in my case it is, but with time you learn to control their use of certain imbalances and trickery to fit the reality because the reality of an artist writer, always on my mind, is another, is what is inventing or creating not only for him to humanity.
Finally I think that writing as an art is conscious or not to rebel against our Creator, we know that we are limited, fragile and minutiae related to space and chronological time of the universe, we know there is a mysterious and perfection in the divine order of things with their own logic and its own laws, the writer and the artist want to add something to what God did want to leave a testimonial on their way through the world, but that testimony is just a breath, a sigh, so a failure or premeditated. Every artist is a writer sentenced to a hopeless failure as a human being just because I know it when I leave this world.
