I began to post on Fictionpress with the intent and knowledge that as I wrote more, I would get better at writing and be more able to take all the various ideas, thoughts, and stories in my mind and write them down in a way that is well-written, easy to understand, and interesting to those who might read it.
And so, it is my hope that I will upload many more works to Fictionpress in the future in my quest to become a great writer. Note that I say "great." I don't want to be just a good writer, I want to become a great writer. If I simply become a "good" writer, I will be very happy, and thank God for blessing me. But I desire to go as far as I can. I desire to be the bestthatI can be atwriting, and at all things that I do. And if God chooses to bless me with that ability, then I thank Him. If not, then I thank Him!
I want to write down ideas of mine and do so in a way that people will understand, and say, "Hey, he's got something there." I want to create arguments for my beliefs and write them out in a manner that is interesting to read, easy to understand, and convincing. I want to think up stories and subcreate them, making them real, making the worlds real, making the characters and all that happens to them real. I want to be able to make it so that it ceases to simply be a story,and becomes alive, living inside the imagination of the reader, and continuing to live even after the story is over.
I want to be able to write in a way that truly affects people, that will alow me to touch them through my writings in that special that only a book can do. I want to have a true and real meaning to all that I write. I want it to say something to somebody... even if that somebody is just me.
If I can write, and simply write to my own satisfaction, for my own satisfaction, I believe that all the effort I put into it will be worth it. In writing, I will be able to discover things about my own self, things I might not have known perhaps. In writing, I will be able to express myself and my beliefs, opinions, thoughts, and ideas. I will have an outlet for all those things. No longer will they simply be thoughts within my mind: I will make them words.
I have things to say, and stories to tell, and I intend to say and tell them.
I thank God for all He has done, and for the skills He has blessed me with. (although some of you might disagree that I have any skill, hehehe. ...that was a joke.)
