The Beauty of Writing.

Writer's Block
A blogger trying to overcome writer's block.


Often writers will write about how to go about writing because they don’t know about anything else, but such articles can be highly instructional for the novice or blogger.


Back when handwriting was the norm and cursive was popular, two of the most helpful writing articles I read were ‘How to hold a pen’ (with detailed diagrams of where to apply pressure with the thumb, index and middle finger on pens of varying thicknesses), and ‘Getting a perfect almond-shaped loop on a lower case ‘d’ that follows an ‘r’ and how to hook the two together.’ (with examples of words like ‘hard’ and ‘board’). My writing improved dramatically.

In this age of blogging where people mainly use PCs, there is a multitude of writing advice about writing, but you rarely see an article about how to use the CAPS LOCK key to maximum effect or where it is located on the keyboard.

But, I digress. The biggest oversight in instructional articles on writing is on how to write beautifully, or beautiful writing, and how to focus on beauty. The best article I ever read about this matter was one I wrote myself. It was titled ‘Me’. I only wrote it in my own head but because it was so good I remember it. It went like this: Personally, I myself use a mirror. Since blogging is all about me I may as well focus on me. I find myself and my own thoughts amazing. Unless other people are idiots, so will they. I’ll probably become the greatest blogger ever. And if I want to write about beauty, what better subject than me, myself, I? I get most of my writing inspiration from myself and my own beauty. Me is my favourite topic.


Sometimes I will write pages on the beauty of my nose. Its shape. How long I’ve had it. How I like just stroking it, etc. . Sometimes I’ll look up my own nostrils for hours, and list it as a hobby on my resume. Sometimes I won’t write anything at all. I just stare into my own eyes and just pay my reflection compliments. I’ll say things like, “You stunner.” I’ll just get so wrapped up in my own beauty, it almost feels wrong to share it with faceless and nameless people on the net who might not appreciate my beauty for what it is – perfection in a human being.

If you’re not genuinely handsome or beautiful, I wouldn’t suggest you try this at home. It will only lead to vanity. Stick to standard writing advice.

I guess the rest of us should just give up now.

If you're referring to being as good as me, you may as well. Some people were just meant to be admired not imitated. I didn't ask to be born perfect. It just happened. I often wonder if I'm actually God. It wouldn't surprise me. I'd love to spend the rest of my life hiding from humans so they didn't get inferiority complexes but part of being perfect is having perfect compassion. I feel a compulsion to show people an example or role model to strive towards (as long as they all realise it's impossible to attain to the degree of perfection I have). I hope this has inspired you to be a better person, and hasn't discouraged you.

There's a smily face on your comment where the text should be.
