Sheesh, it’s a bit inert here now adays. How can we augment our ranks without the reassurance that some one will be on to offer new members company and guidance.
I DEMAND EVENTS!
But why...why do I want this place active?
Why do i write? Why does anyone else write?
and for that matter,
What is the point of literature?
Maybe it’s a story, Maybe it’s the purest fancy of creating a world.
What if stories were the only meaning to life? or to live as the only meaning of stories? Maybe a story is a way to compensate for our short life spans. Maybe these stories comfort us.
What if literature offered relief from uncertainty? a break from reality or simple definitions of human beings. Maybe waiting for results in life is stressful Maybe the ending in a book, or the definitions in an essay, are just ways to coax our frustration or confusion.
what if a story helped us to understand the world a little more, or perhaps offered us guidance? Maybe we take lessons from books Maybe we read because we want to see humans at their best or worst.
What if a story was our way of experiencing new things? Things that the world we live in cant offer. Maybe it excites us. perhaps it’s a way to experience a controlled reality.
What if a story was just a story? A simple statement of events. But, Maybe we see our selves as characters in the epic adventure of earth. And literature as things that could be, things that are, and things that may have been. Maybe life is the story. If so, it may just be that we read and communicate because we want an ending that we can be proud of.
*** So why do I write? Its so i can communicate, so I can imagine, so I can create worlds without leaving this one....
Maybe (please excuse my repetition) I write to make my thoughts, my ideas, my imagination, more then just some untouchable thing.
***
That answers a small fraction of one question. ( and also makes me feel a bit better.)
But i want to know why you (my guild members) write. Then I may be able to asnwer my first question.
