Shout out to all the writers on this forum.

Repogirl, an impeccable writer, i love you.

lol.... Thanks for the love.

Lol, its funny sha.

He wants to write but doesn't want to write...the more I think about it, the funnier it gets.

Some people believe everyone has a story in them but for me, I believe if you want to be a writer but you have never been able to pen down even the most silliest story, then you really shouldn't bother, its just not there.

Growing up I really wished I could be a song writer but I couldn't write any meaningful song neither could I string the shortest sentence together in harmony, and trust me, I tried and tried. If its not there, its just not there.

Also to be a writer, you should first be an avid reader. How can you write when you don't know how its done? If you read novels, you would have an idea on the basics of how a story is strewn together.

You really don't need anyone to teach you anything much about writing. The mind of a writer is laden with characters, plots and stories that are just waiting to be put down.

I'm not saying writing is always smooth but if you wish to write, you will put down something even if it takes you years to finish because the story will not let you be, it will keep bugging you and before you know it, you will have no choice but to write about it.

If you want to write, don't think too much. Just write.
