What is it?

Books, screenplays, pictures, music and other creative works become cheaper and cheaper as more and more such things come to the market. We need more and more strength to promote our works to be recognized or just read/listened, watched. It’s a general situation with small variations depending on quality of our talents. People say information should be free. Ok, nobody forces our brothers and sisters create anything, but they do and they will. We, almost all, say the same – that it’s our passion, our need. Note, it’s the need to produce information, despite its value for the others. What is it?

More and more texts, videos, pictures, sounds stream into our living space – almost everything what a human being can sense. Most of these are just informational noise, valueless for us. Clearness, filters and just silence turn to be our need too. Their prices slowly grow up. We are ready to pay for not sending us advertisement, for filtering our mails from spam, for search services. We are looking for something really valuable. What is it?

Just a chance

Many of my peer writers said that I was wrong speaking of a planet of writers. Exaggeration, sort of that. Ok, I'm ready to correct a bit my point of view =) because, in fact, we could say the same about artists, singers and other creative folk. What we really have is an increasing number of possibilities for people to be involved into realization of their creative potentials. That's it. Sure, it doesn't mean that anyone who starts a blog or an e-book will be a writer, as well as anyone who start his/her painting in the Internet will be a great artist. In the virtual space rules are pretty similar to those ones we have in the real world. You should do a great deal of marketing work to be noticed, even if you have a talent.

So, gentlemen and ladies, I was wrong. Our planet is populated not only by writers! =) God be praised! There is just such a chance for that ;)     

A Revolution of Writers

I would name this situation a revolution of writers. It’s the situation when a writer's product becomes one of a necessary need for every human being. Modern people can't feel fulfillment of their life until they don't create their informational products (in writing). That's not a caprice. That's a need, roots of which come from the depth of our existence. We've got a divine sparkle of our Creator inside, and it always will seek for a way to create something special. That's our part.

What's wrong with that in the surrounding world? Why are there so few people who are able to satisfy this need? No, my dear friends, let's not blame for our problems the publishing industry or any other mass media channels. As ever, the main reason why people don't feel themselves content even after publishing their book (or even some books) is within us. It may sound somewhat trite, but it's true. Let's better a bit change our point of view. Ask yourself if your book (or just its plot) the best for you (not for your readers even)? Be honest. Is it the best what you can write? Honesty is the way to make every your word worth living (and writing).   

We all are writers now

Hi, friends!

I’m a writer, as many of us this time =)

Yes, it’s an interesting fact that so many people become writers in the last ten years, not artists or actors, but exctly writers. Actually, Internet has been preparing us for that since our first steps in the virtual space. You gotta write, write and write here and there. Text is the most popular form of informational exchange in computer world, which rules over the planet now. All other channels are less represented. Some of them (smell) are not represented yet. It seems that our planet will be the planet of writers =) and readers, of course. It’s not good, not bad – it’s just a fact of our today’s living, and it has some interesting consequences… about which I'm going to speak here.
