When God created man in his own image, he had
writers in mind. Writing is not just an art, its an expression of divinity. Through
words, we call forth the abstract thoughts that orbit the shakesparian planes
into life. We breathe life into our characters and give them a world to live
in. The characters we create bear a semblance of our image or those around us.
Even though they may be different, but each is important, playing a small part
in the big picture. The action of each person causes a ripple effect on the
course of events, but most times like our characters, we are blind to this, oblivious
of the subtle signs that have been placed. Like the characters in our books, we
are appear on earth at a specific time, place and for a specific reason, with
precision lest you disrupt the equilibrium.
Like
God, the writer has to give the character the free will, the ability to chose
his path, and part in the scheme of events. But he alone would determine how
the script ends. We may become so attached to the character, sometimes helping
him cheat death, but we have to remain detached for the fulfillment of the
expected end.
Perhaps
the true measure of the our divinity comes from our immortality. Writers never
die, but live in other forms. We live through our books, our words, our works.
Like God, we are omnipresent. we may not be physically present when that
faithful fan picks up your book, but through the scenes, the suspense, the
dexterity at which we deliver our ideas, the reader feels our touch, our power,
our awesomeness. We remain fresh in their minds like wine dripping from the
palm tree. When God created man, he had writers in mind, because God is a
writer.
