Beginners Writing – What Sparks the Writing Process?

Writers always have a natural urge to write. If they’re not writing, they feel the need to write. That’s how it always is. After all you can’t perfect your craft if you do not practice your craft. So, writers always find the time to write.

How about aspiring writers. Aspiring writers have a larger need to write. Though inexperienced, aspiring writers need to push themselves to write more – to gain more experience, hence develop the ability.

So writing becomes a need. But sometimes it is just too difficult to write – too difficult to find ideas to write about. Of course you need to know a great deal about something before you can be able to write about it. You need research and that’s fairly easy – compared to having the right amount of inspiration.

In writing, the writer must learn to write from his heart. This is what makes his writing quality writing. What does quality writing actually mean? – It’s you having the full interest for your topic. If you don’t have the affection for the thing you are writing about, then you’re just beating around the bush. You write a lot of nonsense, hence, you lose readers. What catches the attention of readers is writing produced with love.

If the writer wrote in his full interest, he writes in all of his effort. This is what produces quality writing.

This is the equation of quality writing. The ideal writer doesn’t only write. He is engaged in his writing. He becomes one with his material.

A writer begins to write when his mind is suddenly aroused by an interesting subject. A writer stops writing if he loses interest. The result is unfinished business. He fails to finish what he started. The worse though is if you drag yourself to finish your writing only to end up with a mediocre creation.

And don’t forget how it feels like writing about something you don’t like, writing something if you don’t feel like writing it?

The meaning of “Just write” is not actually what it says per se. It means – just write, but write as your heart allows you to. It’s just impossible to write if you don’t feel even just a tiny tug in your heart to write. It’s impossible. I’m sure you’ve seen an image of a writing staring blankly in his typewriter for hours. He can’t and won’t start writing if he experiences no swift gush of enlightenment. You can’t make him to write unless he absolutely wants it. It’s impossible, and unadvisable.

At this point, it may seem that the writing experience poses a great deal of a challenge. One needs to find ample amount of inspiration. One can’t deal without it, and a lot of times it’s just hard to find. Once you find it though and put to work the result is more than worth it. For inspiration creates masterpiece. People can write crap, but (inspired) writers make masterpiece.
