when you are writing a book, it's just not writing your thoughts. it's creating people. it's creating an alternate universe to ours.
you have the power to destroy a life, but to also make a new one. you have the power to see the destination, while your people are left wondering if their creator will allow them to see that accomplishment. you are their God, their creator. you have the ability to make anything happen.
life, death. sickness, health. rich, poor. compassionate, cold. sane, insane. happiness, sadness.
you have the ability to control all this as the words are carved by your hands. you have a universe in your hands - yours, and only yours. and one day, you will share that universe to others, and give them a chance to see yet another story of another person.
you are your own God. writers, artists, directors - they create another alternate universe, and they are gods and goddesses too.
It's breathtaking, when you realise just how much power you have. and what will you do with this power, knowing you have so much?
