Writing is...

I expect my writing to be a reflection of the thoughts in feelings inside me. I expect my writing to have a piece of me, large or small depending on the material. Writing is such a strong tool, and critical to communication. It can also be a form an art, or informative. I think a good writer, like I strive to be, uses both artistic and quality information to make the words come alive, and make it interesting to read.
Good writing is much more difficult, and more of a challenge than most people know. This is evident when you read a good novel, or informative news story. There are key tools that the writer is using to keep the audiences interest. A good writer uses words, phrases, layout, and design, all to keep the reader involved, and craving the next description of the scene.
I would like to think that all writers, including myself, could do this, but many cannot. But the fact is that this is a learned talent. Some are better than others. This is also something that needs to be practiced and perfected, which I intend to do.
