A Reason to Write

What motivates us to write? There are days when we wake up highly inspired, and others when we find ourselves blocked. Indeed, our ability to write is heavily influenced by our emotional state and creativity. Forcing ourselves to write often results in mediocre outcomes that we ultimately decide to discard from our drafts.

Oftentimes, we seek refuge in the literary world as a means of provoking catharsis and escaping from this imperfect and ever-changing reality. Society, increasingly driven by growing materialism, seems to prioritize surface over substance, sidelining our emotions.

We live in a society where the packaging appears to be more important than the content itself; good intentions are nearly extinct. Faced with an indifferent humanity, we observe with frustration that we are regressing as human beings. This motivates us to write, to reclaim that hidden humanity within all of us. We construct unreal worlds with characters who push their emotions to the limit, aiming to evoke the dormant feelings of our readers.

We don’t just write to transport the reader to a harmless fantasy; we also write to escape our own harsh reality. In such an unstable and perverse world, we find solace within our own fantasies, created with each book we write.

When you read a book, you’re not merely reading a story; you’re entering the inner world of a writer who has built a universe. This universe often serves as a temporary refuge to endure the challenges of daily life.

Writing is not just the oxygen a writer needs to breathe; it is a daily motivation. It’s akin to a painter facing a blank canvas, infusing color into stories brimming with emotions through every word typed on the computer, guided by our creativity.
