Writing is Magical

Forestwood

Writing is magic,
as much the water of life as any other creative art.
The water is free. So drink.
Drink and be filled up.

Stephen King

At work we have a new sub-editor checking our articles and after receiving the text about the new person on our team, it suddenly dawned on me that this newcomer, called Ali, might be a fake. It might even be A.I. especially given my previous A.I. discussion.

I revealed this little pondering to my editor who assured me that Ali was real and then sent me some info on how he has found using A.I. in the print media sphere. He talked about the inaccuracies and of the copyright issues.

I thought: Did he think my question regarding Ali’s authenticity mean I was contemplating using A.I. chatbots to write my allocated stories and articles for the magazine?

Because if he did, he was wrong.

There is one overriding reason why I wouldn’t use A.I. and that is:

I like to write.

After all, we choose to be writers so why would we not want to write!

In his book ‘On Writing,’ the famous author Stephen King reveals that the act of writing for him isn’t about seeking fame or fortune, about getting dates or making friends. It is about digging up fossils, those stories that are there in our minds, waiting to be discovered or “dug up,” appearing in our imagination and the writers is the conduit.

According to Stephen:


It is about enriching the lives of those who will read your work,
and enriching your own life, as well.

The Yin and Yang of Creative Writing

Just like the sunflowers, writing, whether it be fiction or non-fiction, can make us feel emotional, broody, sad, even fatigued. Contrastingly, it can also be intensely therapeutic, revealing bright, sunny thoughts regaling with positivity.

Yin and Yang Sunflowers

Just like the sunflowers bursting into bloom – writing does enrich my life. It fills me with contentment and joy. It is creating or expressing something totally original and new.

Rarely do I experience frustration or angst from the act of writing.

Creating a story, a blog post or an informative article can really make my day!

How do you feel about writing?

Is it magical, cathartic or purely expressive for you?

  1. For me, writing is my therapy and my voice. I often don’t know what I am really and truly thinking until I write it down. If my life is in a mess, a sure-fire way for me to get THROUGH said mess is to journal about it until I have come to some conclusion. And regarding A.I., I always feel triumphant when the bot(? Is that what it’s called?) is unable to guess what my next word is going to be. Creepy, though, how often it DOES know…😬 I really loved your sunflower metaphors 🙂

    1. I like that you think about processing life’s challenges through writing, Patti. I also turn to a notebook or a journal when things become overwhelming or I cannot sort them easily. It helps me clear my thoughts and find a way through the quagmire that happens along life’s pathways!
      So the bot get confused predicting your next word. I have seen some humorous social media games where you post the next work on your auto – predict – when it gets it wrong it can be funny. Glad you liked the sunflowers – we planted them a bit late this year so they are not very high, but the colour is still impressive.

I should be one of those snow bunnies travelling the world’s ski resorts on one perpetual winter! Haha. Do You grow sunflowers in your garden in summer?

      3. Actually, it gets REALLY hot and sticky here from about mid-June to mid-September (the hot, sticky season used to be MUCH shorter when I was a young woman: just a few weeks in July). And I prefer the cooler weather too, so your globetrotting idea would work for me if I didn’t mind travelling so much 🙂 Yes, I finally tried growing sunflowers last year. I didn’t actually get any seeds; I think I started too late; but they were HUGE and so pretty. I only started gardening a few years ago and have NO idea what I’m doing but I am really enjoying the process 🙂

  3. I used to keep a daily journal, but these days, the only writing I do is for my blog. The time I spend composing those posts is often therapeutic, and reflective. Writing relaxes me but it also holds me accountable to my own truth.

    1. Great point, Suzanne and I hadn’t yet thought of how writing down or publishing blog posts can make writers accountable. But it is true, once your narrative is unleashed into the wilds, it is open to judgement and criticism but hopefully also some positive comments from readers. There is nowhere to hide unless you hit the delete button. Having said that, our blogs chronicle all phases of life so why delete history. Personal blogs can reveal lots or just a little of our private lives, and the blogosphere is certainly very wise, helpful and supportive. I have had diaries even since I was very little so I do agree writing is reflective and therapeutic. That was what initially drew me in to write and I found I loved it. Plus, do you think that the more you do, the better you get?

    1. Even though I love writing, Tanja, I can relate to feeling of not wanting to write. At times, the less I post, the less I am likely to post. If I have taken a break from a holiday – then it does feel just like a chore to start. When I feel like this I don’t write – for if I do, it doesn’t turn out well. I wait until the inspiration genie hits me again and then the words fly off the keyboard.

  6. I enjoyed Stephen King’s book on writing. It’s one of his few books that I can read without scaring the pants off me. I have to wonder, if his books dig up fossil bones in his head … what else does he have buried ?!

  9. Writing isn’t so much as magical as it is therapeutic for me, especially recording thoughts in my journal. I’ve kept a regular journal since 1983, and it’s actually helped me get through some very rough spots in life. Writing stories is equally relaxing in that I can slip into the worlds of my characters and learn what’s going on with them. That’s how I treat the characters in my stories – as people I get to know. And, as an introvert, I have few avenues for meeting new people!

      2. I tend to base characters in fiction stories on some element of a real person. People might inspire a character by a look, an action. But it is only a base for inventing a character. Fiction is not a memoir.

  10. Writing is therapeutic. The moment my fingers start typing is just the beginning. The end so often unknown. So many thoughts come to my mind, some memories, others just wishes and dreams. Do I have an opinion and how does it feel when I actually put it into words. It’s stunning how often I am surprised by my own posts. So often it feels like they have been bottled up, and while writing, I finally finalized my thinking process as well. So much still just ‘laying around’ in my brain -untouched, unspoken, unwritten. 🙂

As I said to my writing students recently, writing comes from the heart, to me it just happens. It flows. It you have to force it, this means the writing will be stodgy or clunky. Keep unbottling those thoughts, Bridget!

      6. I remember about twenty odd years ago someone mentioned texting. We were school Mums – older ones and we hunt and pecked at the phone keyboards taking so long to type a text back in reply to someone who hadn’t used their phone to ring us. Then one of the younger Mums began to text me quite often and I got into the habit. Now we hardly think about it. I was resistant about texts to begin with and now it is integrated into our lives. AI is of course, much more serious but I take your point. Will habit and the laziness take over the majority leaving us in the minority writing with warmth, compassion, passion and humanity?

Mainly due to feeling I’ve accomplished something on those occasions I feel I’ve written well; enjoying conversations with people on a global scale; experiencing cathartic benefits of writing. Writing doesn’t come naturally to me though and it is time consuming! Mind you, anything worth it’s salt usually is, isn’t it?

  20. I think you know how I feel about writing. I started writing because I wasn’t being heard or able to get a word in. I didn’t write early in life because it wasn’t safe to do so. I’m making up for lost time. As I write, my truth expresses itself even when I’m not aware of it. My free writing in the early morning is where that comes out the most. If I want something to happen or manifest in my life, I write it down on paper. I can put the paper away and go back a year later and see that it has somehow appeared already. Writing is magical!

    1. Thanks Godtisx! It id so interesting to read that what you once viewed as an art form now had become food for your soul. Writing is an amazing craft and an addictive one. It also is dynamic, constantly twirling, changing and evolving as our skills develop, or we seek new challenges in writing styles. That is what piques our interest and talks to my suggestion that when we feel really motivated to write, it bursts out of us on a magic filled flow. Sometimes I look back on old post or comments and think wow – did I write that? There are so many ways of saying the same thing.

It does make life easier but it is a double-edged sword that makes our brains duller. As for saving time, I think the jury is still out. They create more work in some instances and replace so many jobs. They are also inflexible, often break down and as programs and software become ever more complex, require ever more mouse clicks to print something as simple as a store receipt. We still need humans but much less of them….

  31. Different types of writing makes me feel different things. Blogging to me is a luxury, and highly therapeutic. At the same time I also do have a wish to make people think, and consider their ecological footprint and the choices they make (even if it is in the smallest, tiniest, little way.)

    Writing different types of reports for school keeps me on my toes, and makes me think. It can also be stressful at times. Especially remembering to use the “right” formal language.

    Writing for work is rewarding, but I often work under time-pressure, as I have very little time for writing all the things I need to write during my regular work hours. If I am going to be a great teacher, following up on each student’s progress, I unfortunately have to do a lot of writing un-paid, on my own time.

    I believe that writing is power, in a similar way that knowledge is power. Thank you for a great post, that made me reflect over my writing!

Interesting that to be an effective teacher means that you have to write unpaid in your own time.

Writing is funny when it comes to our preference. I find it incredibly difficult to come up with pure fiction. If I have a real life encounter, I can easily embellish, add or subtract to that to make a fun and readable story. If I create an entire work of fiction, it is usually hard slog, and maybe not so good. I am persisting with this side of the craft though in the hopes it will improve my non-fiction too!

  34. Hi – what a great post – and I am like you – where I enjoy the writing process and would not want to use AI
    and you know – I do wonder about what the AI puts out there – because have you ever picked up on someone’s “signature style” through their writing? I am sure you have – and we can feel their little nuances and word choices – which I do not think AI can duplicate –
    also, the hubs and i Just watched an episode of South park (my second episode ever and the only reason is because I completely enjoyed the World Wide Privacy Tour episode and was flabbergasted at how good the writing was)

    anyhow, we watched the “deep learning” episode and Amanda, it addressed the AI issue and brought up ways it can be misused.

    anyhow, how interesting that Ali might be AI – have you met Ali yet?

    1. Hi Yvette and thanks for your comment which raises so many great points.
      I do think that everyone has a signature style and that was one of my issues with using AI. There will be no diversity of writing styles – writing will become the one voice – a standardized voice and I could perceive that in certain scenarios that could be dangerous. It would certainly lead to the narrowing of opinion.
      I don’t watch South Park or much on TV really, but I have watched several episodes to know that the nuances of the dialogue amidst the silliness can be insightful, cutting and has ‘layers.’ So I will have a look at that if I can access it here. These days, popular shows are broadcast here shortly after they are shown in the US. Years back that might take 6 months or 1 year to air!
      I haven’t met Ali – she was a temporary employee, perhaps gaining some work experience.

  38. Interesting topic. I feel somewhat mixed when it comes to this. I enjoy having written, but the act of writing itself often feels like work—except for the rare moments when I fall into flow state, which happens both with subjects I enjoy and hate. Anyway, thanks for this post!

    1. I find it hard to get into writing on topics that I hate, but you are right. Sometimes flow can happen even when the subject matter isn’t a favourite and that is a good thing. And a very good reason to keep writing even if it is work. Right?
