Dare to Write
Dare to write…
What do I write about?
I only write about two things. Love, just like everyone else does and Not Love, which everyone else do but not after writing about love first. At this point I went blank. I am not a writer by profession but I consider anyone that writes at a certain degree of making sense a writer.
How do writers write about love?
Just as everyone else do when inspired by a series of events that make an impact on the way they live, whether or not about love, we always wish we had a pen. We wanted to write about how lovely, cute, and warm furred little Morlax was before he died (hint it was in a song).
If only I was video taped the moment I gave flowers to the one I like in school, I would have asked him for a copy, watch it once then keep it never to watch it again. Would that not make you wonder? Why do we want to keep everything, even memories? We keep picture to remind us of how ugly we once were (maybe to brag on how good we look now or how good we used to look). We keep letters to remind us of a personal touch that once upon a time in this paper a stroke of his/her pen slides who ever he/she is. We try to remember what we think is important but we are afraid that we might forget these things to a point that it pushes us to write it down, document or record it perhaps.
Is thinking it over not enough? We tend to keep things not simply to remind us of something, sometimes it is because we want to relive the moment. We want to feel how we felt because it feels good and if doesn't, see that at least were over it, be thankful then feel good afterwards.
This isn’t about love nor is it about writers; this is about how I think. If you get to read up to this part that will amaze me coz I sure won't read about what I think so drop off a mark, a comment, a dot or anything tell me...
or may be just remind me that you've read about this ten years from now.

infairness, totoo 'yang sinasab mo. Naka-ka-relate ako kasi everytime na emotional ako eh kelangan may hawak talaga akong pen. Kung hindi, sayang ang moment. Minsan kapag bad trip ako sa isang tao, pinga-ti-trip-an ko na lang siya sa mga story na ginagawa ko. Kawawang mga nilalang...

Hindi lahat nailalabas sa pamamagitan ng pagsusulat... minsan hindi mo mahanap kung ano yung tamang salita na magpapaliwanag sa nararamdaman mo. Kung isusulat mo yung kung ano ang nasa iyong kalooban ang mga salita ay base lang dun sa kung ano ung na-feel mo...

siguro nga't hindi mo
Submitted by mcleri on June 5, 2008 - 1:12pm.
siguro nga't hindi mo maiipinta ang tunay na kulay ng kalooban sa canbas ng panulat at papel. pero ang pagsubok na gawin itong kasin lapit ng iyong nararamdaman ang nagbibigay buhay sa ng isang likha. kung iisipin mong malayo ito sa tunay na damdamin, mawawalan ng buhay ang iyong likha. marahil nga't tama pero masmagandang isiping buhay ang bawat obrang isinulat... at doon magmumula ang tunay na damdamin na hindi makita ng iilan ngunit nakikita ng iba.
i thank u..
bow.Ü hehe

agree ako kay mcleri...
Submitted by dyeppri on June 5, 2008 - 3:47pm.
agree ako kay mcleri... Write everything in your heart and mind and not to what the readers want! Wala naman talagang magaling na writer kundi meron lang naniniwala on his side. Merong magkakagusto sa talent mo at meron ding hindi maniniwala. Kapag pinilit ng isang writer na sumunod sa reader ay nawawalan ng puso ang kanyang gawa. Parang bituing walang ningning na kanta ni sharon cuneta at inawit muli ni sarah h. Infairness magaling ang pagkakaawit nila, hah!
Ganyan ang magaling na poet db? Minsan ang author lang ang nakakaunawa sa mga litanya nya at kahit pilit nating unawain ay ikakasira pa ng ulo natin. Basta masasabi na lang natin na magaling kahit di nagets!
Tuloy-tuloy lang po sa pagsusulat...
peace

it's far easier for me to write after i lost the love..."bihirang maisulat ang kaligayahan"..or i guess it's just me..there are times when it's really hard to put into words the emotions inside us..

you're right
Submitted by Ailem23 on June 12, 2008 - 4:42pm.
Yep, you're right and left. hehehe... ganyan din ako. 'Wag kang mag-alala kapatid. Hindi ka nag-iisa. Sometimes, there are moments wherein the only thing I could turn to is my pen and a piece of blank paper...then after few minutes hindi na siya blank dahil naibuhos ko na don ang emotion at ideas na gumugulo sa akin. It's like writing a diary thing. Mas literary nga lang.
Go ahead. Write everything you wanna write. After all, that's the main purpose why writers exist...
Best regards,
Melay

it always feels good to
Submitted by uwil.phoenix on June 13, 2008 - 7:57am.
it always feels good to write about love... or the lack of it. I think it's because most of us have experienced it and it's simply easier to write about something you've experienced. It's sometimes hard to put in writing what you feel about a certain person, or a particular situation. once you find your own flow though, words will just come gushing out of you... it just takes practice.

Writing about love and something else
Submitted by noelbarcelona on July 2, 2008 - 8:03pm.
I am a realist writer and I am no oppose to writing about "sweet romance, pure love, honeycomb feelings."
But I do suggest that writings about love would translate in writing about the true essence of the word and that is, writing about the plight of your neighbor.
When I've attended the two-day seminar sponsored by Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) News Service, where I am a correspondent, Mnsgr. Pedro C. Quitorio III told us to write about the truth of our ailing society.
Do not be confined in the realms of our emotions that translate sometimes into "narcissistic" or self-centered point-of-view in writing.
I do write about love stories but I prefer to write about hearts instead - the heart of the workers, peasants and other marginalized sectors of our society for the real stories are from them.
But I won't insist that all romantic inclinations in writing to be stopped. But remember that love is not only something personal but impersonal.
Pero, magpatuloy tayong lahat sa pagsusulat!
Que sera, sera

i agree to you, mr. realist
Submitted by mcleri on July 16, 2008 - 12:10am.
i agree to you, mr. realist writer, ang tunay na kahulugan ng panulat ay hindi lunurin ang mga mambabasa sa kamangmangan ng pantasya upang bumangon nalamang at magising sa katotohanan na pagipinantay sa kanilang imahinasyon ay tila ayaw na nilang talikdan ang pantasyang kinalugmukan. itanim natin lahat, manunulat man o mambabasa, na ang emosyon tulad ng pag-ibig ay isa sa realidad ng buhay na kailanman ay hindi maiisantabi ng isang tao na marunong magisip o dumama, sa aking pananaw.
huwag tayong maging bilanggo ng pantasya...
...ngunit huwag din nating pigilan ang ating damdamin sa pagsulat ng ano man ang ating hilig.
Mabuhay!

Well, sa akin naman whatever kind of story basta kaya ng isip ko. Once i started a topic, tuloy-tuloy na ang development ng estorya hanggang marating ang climax, at saka ko na siya lagyan ng title para accurate yung maging title dun sa story ko....
