Writ•er /ˈrīdər/
-noun 1. A peculiar organism capable of transforming caffeine into books.
When people describe a writer as someone who just writes stories; it frustrates me. It makes my cheeks turn pink from the flustered blood running in my veins. It makes me hold my chin high and explain to them that writers are much more than just storytellers.
They create not only stories; but entire worlds, kingdoms, climates, religions, death, life, tragedy, comedy, romance, joy and could easily turn someone insane just by the mere words they type or scribble onto the pages that we read.
Writing frees the soul. People who really do read and enjoy that are much different than the others who don't.
Think of it as an unspoken community. We don't usually share the exact same thoughts on each novel or story as they are seen differently for each. We most certainly don't meet every Sunday at the same time and at the same place just to have breakfast and gab over our books. But we all have fallen so deeply for our books and their characters that the human world just seems to be bleak and dull compared to the written words we adore. The world doesn't think like us, and so why should we immerse ourselves with the people who don't understand why we spend hours reading and loving each powerful word?
We rather drown in the words of writers who understand us but will never meet us.
