Becoming the writer I want to be

I started writting my book on philosophy,mostly inspired by descartes and Immanuel Kant<3

 

How far through are you?

 

1012 words today, finishing the chapter. Unsure what I will do tomorrow now, I have to say.

 

This caught my attention right away! What's it about?

 

This book talks about rationalism,how one can identify right things but i am also writting about the empiricism how it is important too,in a way a new ideology of both rationalism and empiricism,i know the book will be very bad,but i love writting, and philosophy is the thing that attract me the most,

 

Now, why do you say that the book will be bad? If all writers thought this way, then no books would be finished. If you think it's bad, then it'll affect the quality and motivation for it. Just write it and who knows, if you don't have a negative cloud, then the book might turn out to be better than what you thought.

 

That's awesome.
You're already doing the damn thing but one book I found helpful when it came to writing was Stephen King's "On writing". It's a memoir from Stephen about his experiences as a writer and his advice for aspiring writers. What King usually writes about is perhaps far from a doctoral thesis but I believe many of his tips are fitting no matter what you intend to put down on the paper.

 

5414 words this week, bringing my page total up to 203 pages. Just two more chapters until I am done with act 4.

 

So I used to write poems in a free-verse effort, but a girl this morning gave me a good motivation to try a concept of writing poems: think of a word, a mood, and use both to create a poem. She wrote the first five lines and then I did the rest. See what you think. Should I just abandon my efforts to be more free-verse and follow traditional rhymes and sounds? I'll try to find a free-verse poem I wrote and see what you think. For now, though, enjoy this:

Color
Skipping through the leaves
High up on trees

Kissed by the sun
Days filled with fun

Wind ruffling through my hair
Providing a cheerful flair
Dancing slowly on the autumn days
Loving children on the fray

Falling silently on the ground
Hardly ever making a loud sound

Colorful leaves fly free from trees
Waltzing around us in a ticklish breeze
The days are short, not long
Prompting the swans to sing their song
Birds take off in winter's flight
Children playing in all sorts of delight

Color
The ingredient of the season to me.

 

It's good man just change this to.
Hardly ever making a sound.

The days are short, ever fading.

You want each following phrase to have roughly the same syllables.
Otherwise well done. I really like it.

 

Noticed your counter is back to zero. Hope you are doing well despite this setback.

 

Thanks man. Honestly not doing very well at all. It's when I'm down I can't seem to think logically. And I relapse. Just been a lot more valleys these days.

 

Don't let this shit sink you down into a hole. Instead, use that shit to spring board yourself out of it!

Pushing through the gloomy days and still feeling like shit is a part of life but I know, and I am sure you also know that sooner or later a day of light will arrive and things will start to turn around, at least for a while.

Without the shit the good wouldn't be worth much. The shit is beautiful, it gives us a much needed contrast to be able to fully enjoy life. Cherish these bad days because they have allowed you to feel so good in just a few days if you choose to get back on the horse starting right now.
