Greetings, Ink Jars, Professor Lewis here, today I will be explaining to you what you are, an Ink Jar. I may have explained this before, but I am uncertain and therefore, shall do so again. I cannot recall the exact moment when I came up with the term "Ink Jar," but I know that as soon as I did, I loved it. You readers are so important and deserve your own title!

So this partly became a thing when I decided to begin this writing advice book. I needed a name for my "students." In truth, you're my fellow learners! Anyway, I believe, as authors, we're all jars. We fill ourselves with writing advice, stories, movies, experiences, books, characters, ect.--basically inspiration or knowledge. All we have to do is dip into that wisdom--that ink and spread it across the blank pages before us. 

While, yes, these can be literal blank pages, I guess they could also represent life. We, as authors, watchers and imitators of human behavior, have the ability to take what we have learned from story telling and apply it to life--to human interaction. In past chapters, I have talked about how writing gives you this mentality that everyone has a story. 

Anyway, all this to say, you are Ink Jars. I am an Ink Jar. And we should all be proud to be so. 

Your faithful writer and fellow Ink Jar, Lewis
