Write that one story that Defines You
Tell the World about the most important element in your life
We all have something that matters most to us in life. For some people, it may be an object, a person, a place, a hobby, an interest, or an ideology.
How do you discover the one most important element in your life that defines you as a person? A thought or an idea that defines you is something that you are truly passionate about, and which makes your life complete. Would you say that writing a novel, creating something of value, winning a grand prize would define you as a person?
I have always enjoyed writing and publishing having been inspired to take to writing by my father. Over the years, I have followed closely the developments in the field of writing and publishing. When I was younger I was fortunate to see the old printing letter-presses, where alphabets had to be placed in the printing frame. That was the time of wood-frame printing presses with lino-blocks and zinc-block printing for photographs.
Things started to change in the field of publishing as digital printing came into existence. Wonders could be done on a computer, copies printed from an electronic printer and you could hold the master-copy in your hand within hours.
As a result of my great interest in writing, printing, and publishing, I thought about the idea of futuristic independent publishing. I developed the fiction series, called “The Publish and Die Protocol”. This series on the future of independent publishing defines me as an author and writer.
When you find that one element in your life which defines you as a person and a writer, start writing about it. If it is in the field of sports, media, technology, or science, do research on the topic and then produce something of value for the world to read and enjoy.
As a writer, we are fortunate to have the use of our literary tools and skills to write about what matters to us in life. There are so many individuals who are passionate about subjects, yet do not have the time or the inclination to write about them.
Writing is a talent that can be developed over time. It is an inherent skill that every person can tap into. Every individual on the planet needs to discover the hidden writer.
