Why Writing Matters: A Passion Beyond Parity

It's a common misconception that the world can't support more writers. After all, isn't writing just one more voice in an already crowded marketplace? The truth is, for many individuals like myself, the need to write is more than a mere hobby—it's a necessity.

A Need beyond Parity

I turn into an ugly rage monster if I don't write. It's not about competing with others; it's about fulfilling an intrinsic drive to create and propel stories forward from inception to completion. Writing is a deep-seated way to explore and share unique perspectives and emotions.

Consider my novel, ‘Tough Life’. Writing this story is my way of expressing my thoughts and experiences. The world needs more such stories—stories that are interesting, thought-provoking, and deeply personal. Writing is not just about reaching a wider audience, but about tapping into a personal wellspring of creativity and passion.

Every Mind, Every Story

One of the most compelling reasons to write is the uniqueness of each individual's perspective. The world is filled with differences—different thoughts, views, emotions, and experiences. These differences are the building blocks of authentic, compelling writing.

But why is it that not everyone feels the same urgency to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard? Perhaps it's a matter of recognizing the value in one's own unique voice and story. In an era where there are likely trillions of writers, the gap between the vast number of potential narratives and the few that truly resonate is vast.

Writing What You Crave

My journey to the page is deeply personal. I started writing because there weren't stories that matched my desires—specifically those that feature detailed space exploration and a diverse array of alien encounters. I write what I want to read, and I do so with the spirit of my favorite writers.

For those who do feel this spark, there's a world of possibility. Whether you prefer poetry, novellas, or conceptual art, each form offers a unique avenue for self-expression. My art and poetry, though unconventional, find resonance with my readers. They are original, striking, and slightly wacky, drawing in a following that appreciates my creative vision.

A Commitment to Authenticity

In the vastness of the internet and the plethora of voices clamoring for attention, it's easy to feel small or insignificant. But every writer is unique, bringing their own experiences and perspectives to the table. One can't help but feel a sense of responsibility to share this unique perspective, no matter how small it may seem.

As for the idea that there might already be too many writers, my response is a resounding no. There are always spaces for new voices, especially when those voices bring fresh perspectives and original ideas. So, if you are feeling the call of the pen or the keyboard, give it a go. The world needs your story, and you need to write it.

Let the journey begin—a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and sharing. Whether it's through writing, painting, or any other form of expression, it's time to embrace the passion that drives us.
