Just as soon as a toddler learns to walk and talk, so do they begin to read and write. They quickly learn that reading and writing will influence every part of their human life. No matter what job or profession they follow, writing will be an integral part of it. It may be a simple shopping list for a housewife or an intricate equation for a quantum scientist, everyone will use one form of writing or another.

Professional writers may allow their perceptions and concepts to simmer on a low light for many years, whilst others may allow their ideas to boil over. Indeed, some writers may never get their pot lit and have to dine on cold leftovers throughout their lives. However; there is one burning question all writers should ask themselves.......... "Why am I writing?

? Do they write for the money?
? Do they write because they have a good imagination?
? Does their mind conjure up images of death and destruction?
? Are they suited to writing horror, mysteries or perhaps dramas and romance?

The subject matter is as large as the world we live in. But once again the question should be asked;........."Why am I writing" The question needs to be asked over and over again...Why?   Because the world we live in at this moment in time is sinking deeper and deeper into a vast cooking pot of intellectual sewerage that continues to feed toxic waste into the minds of present and future generations.

It is no longer good enough for a writer to stew in their own juices, for their juices may be badly contaminated and they may not realize the damage they are doing with their writing. Let's for one moment play a game of "What If's"......
? What if everyone who puts pen to paper writes an inspirational helpful article or essay?
? What if every horror writer stops writing horror and starts to write motivational works?
? What if every journalist and editor refuses to publish non essential negative news and instead publishes exhilarating columns on love and joy
? What if every screen writer only wrote scripts that projected the virtue of the human race..........
I think you get the point!

If you are a writer cooking up a new plot...stop and say to yourself......"Why am I writing"
Place your fingers (with your hands) on your lap and clear your mind. Take in a few deep breaths and wait for the authentic answer to your question to come into your mind. If every writer who reads this article would project their true nature in their writing and not the one given to them by their education and upbringing.....Why then; the world would become a better place for everyone to live in. This is your chance to really make a difference. This is the true reason you were born. You are designed to help humanity enjoy life.

The mystical flame is lit and all the ingredients are provided for you (in the silence of your mind) to cook up a de-lightful platter of unique works of majestic authenticity and genuineness. If at first you do not find any customers for your new pot of truth, have no fear....In time your works will join together with all the other writers and you will reminisce of the days when ?what if's' became ?Can Do's'

Now wouldn't that be a dainty dish to set before every baby...... So that they may be crowned kings and queens of a humanity focused on Love & Joy.
