Getting Started in Writing Intro: What being a writer means

The talent to write comes from a desire and a need to express oneself. Most writers write to get a point across, write to entertain others; write to show their creative side. There are many reasons why a person writes. But not all people can write. I mean we are good at writing a grocery list, signing a birthday card but are we good at making a story flow? Writing a nice poem? If you are getting started in writing, these articles will help you get to where you need to be as a writer.
Getting started in writing means, do you have the creativity to make words come together better than someone that doesn’t write. Can you look at something and immediately form a story or thought about it and can immediately put it into writing? These articles will help you sort out what type of writer you want to be. They will give you direction on writing and the different ways a writer can go. I will give you other resources to help you with your writing skills.
One thing a write must always have is a pen and notebook. No writer walks around without it. This is because our minds are always going. You can’t simply turn a writer’s mind off. So as soon as a thought comes to mind, we take out our notebooks and write it down. We are always consumed with great ideas.
I know for me, anytime I am doing something or reading something, my mind wonders to other things and next you know you I have an idea for another book or a business idea that would be excellent. It’s a writer’s mind! So before we go into part one of these articles, make sure you have your pen and notebook ready!
