What advice have you been given about writing?

It depends very much why you want to write. The best and most creative is when you write to express yourself. You can do so without depending on people or special circumstances, although your own condition is crucial to write something which is essential and has a meaning. Something which might with others, not just to get confirmation for your writing, but to help by sharing your insights, with this helping to understand oneself and so finding solutions in difficult situations and understanding connections or the human nature.


Of course it is important that you give your writings a form which can be understood by others, what also means to be clear in ones expression and use the right orthography and right spelling, unless one wants special effects.


You can just use your mind when writing, what are doing most writer, or you can include your emotions, that means writing from your heart. The best for sure is to include all and develop enough intuition. For me writing poetry is special and has the advantage that it can be read more like one is listening to music and the understanding happens also on a level which goes beyond the mind level.


Read poetry of all kind, it will open you to receive and then to be able to express yourself.


Please don't read many books and then make out of them a new book. You might be successful, but you will stay stuck and dumb and not able to reach subtle levels.


I hope this helps.
