Writing

I realized a great lesson today as I started the creative process to write.

The rules of writing rarely exist in absolutes, if they exist at all.

Show not tell? And tell not show? These rules are merely tools, like that of a master smith, that a writer will utilize to craft his or her masterpiece.

The writer must learn each tool, its uses, and wield them well.

Good writing is harder to master than martial arts, and a great deal more complex than any science.

With the sciences, the mysteries of the universe may be unlocked, but with writing we can transcend to other universes and unlock the power of the human soul.

And I will try my best to become a writing master.
