Can I Write

To write beautifully, one need to be detachable from oneself. The moment you put on your hands on the pen or the keyboard, it is wise to be someone else, to put things into perspective.

Like a god, seeing things from the above in landscape view. Or by seeing the movements and emotions from the crack of a room, feeling how people will do and react in the absence of other human beings.

Probably it is also like acting, you detach whatever self you have, put on make-up and will become the man that you wanted to be. Really be in the characters’ shoes with all deeper conflicts and subconscious. Joker inside and out, Bob Dylan inside and out, Clementine inside and out.

When you write about a room, a room should be like the real room. With details. A room should have a container of cosmetics in front of a mirror, an Ikea light with halogen bulb so hot, you burnt your finger once. They should not too two-dimensional and if you are writing for dumbass demographic, you should not put it too much details, they have minor autism and too much details will frighten them.

That’s when you are writing a fiction. But when you are writing an opinion or a journal detailing your day-to-day routine, you need hell lot of openness.

When you talk about the some issues, you need to be sure that you have the strength to stand the ground you choose. If you hate something and someone, you ought to be brave enough to say that. Either with civilised subtleties or simply horrendous obscenity-laden word shootings. If you took a concoction of psychotropic, you ought to be open too.

If you are writing about general issues, about politics or what you will eat for dinner or anything emotionally inept, it would be easier. But of you are writing about something more emotionally involved, like relationship, love, family, anything that involves your dearest and even sexual kinks, that would be much harder to write.

When you write something that is emotionally involved, you are technically subject yourself to all sort of judgements. And that would be not easy. Even if the judgement is right, it would be hard to entertain. Let alone if the judgement is wrong.

Worse of all if are not writing anonymously.

In order to write wonderfully, you have to have the openness to write, to accept responses and the openness of the people surrounding you to the work of opinion. Probably that would take ‘I don’t give a fuck’ kind of people to write. Or ‘I’m too good, you need to listen’.

You also need an Ikea writing lamp, wood’s smell, freshly brewed coffee, good sense of homour, a fan that is not burr-ing.

Seriously, I don’t have any of those. So, I can't write.
