On Reading and Writing

 

A writer is a gossiper, perhaps one of the biggest around. A writer writes or tells stories from his angle.  This is done by listening to dialogues being reproduced all around and jotting it down in the mind or in the little notebook that some carry on themselves.

Life is going on, ideas floating in the air, and it is up to the writer to put it down on paper, register the fact or the idea behind it. Words, dialogues, plots, people, places, - elements that make up a good story. Many genres to please all kinds of readers.

Thin, thick, large print, small print, illustrated books. Fancy, plain, colorful, geometric covers. Never judge a book by its cover, so they say. Sometimes this is exactly what a reader does.

There are magnificent libraries all around the world which go from a small box to buildings with many floors covered in bookshelves and a countless number of books.

The largest library in the world, second the Digital Heritage, is The Library of Congress (LoC), the national library of the United States of America. It holds more than 158 million documents and is therefore the largest library in the World.

The smallest is called The Little Free Library, which is a mailbox that is converted into a library. It is a nonprofit organization with more than 100,000 little libraries worldwide.

Reading is a must. It helps you on so many levels, such as, increases creativity, reduces stress, helps you communicate better and so on. Remember, every writer likes to be read.
