A Writer Should Keep Writing
There is this movie about a writer, Finding Forrester, that taught me something about writing.
Mr. James Bond himself, Sean Connery, was the reclusive Pulitzer-prize winning author in the movie who said that a writer should write and keep on writing. You’re not suppose to think. Thinking comes later, he said.
To be a writer, you just keep on writing and writing and writing. Kamal, a black teenager in the movie, did as Forrester said. And in the story, Kamal wrote a beautiful piece that was so good that he was actually judged unworthy of writing it.
The simple act of transforming your ideas into words is what we need to keep doing. We should write and post something online. Pretty soon, we will have enough written to constitute a book. Would it be worthy of publishing? Who knows? But, like I said, that is a different problem altogether.
Just write and keep on writing. That is the secret of being a writer. A writer is not called a thinker because the writer’s primary job is to write. Thinking is a thinker’s job. A writer just writes.
