Do you want me to teach you how to write?
Once upon a time is for fairytales. Also, there was "a dark and stormy night" once before*. The man who wrote it wrote another famous line. His name was Edward Bulwer-Lytton.
Men who write things abound. Women, too, write quite a bit, And lady writers were often telling stories as much as counting numbers, but who were the great lady philosophers!?
To write is to speak to another's mind. Speak briefly, men come in two kinds.
For instance, how much of a bang does, '"it was empty," he said.', have for the average person? Are we talking about a garden or a grave? An alley way, you get the picture.
If you want to write well read pros, but edit like a newswriter.
"She was walking barefoot, soles on the gray sidewalk" is passive.
"She walked on hot pavement, soles stinging on black tar." Is better.
I have four kinds of writing in mind. One is playful. It is poetry, something which is as real as dancing! As real as music and stars! **
There is beneath the veil a soul with all life, as if this soul were very wide! As if to cast a canopy over the earth with a blanket of inspiring stars! It is the creative spirit! And it knows all!
This and many facets of this beautiful thing are inspiration for writing, but for value, always add a hint of the divine.
Heart full of inspo you're a Shakespeare.
I wrote a little poem
To make a space go by
I wrote a little poem
to catch your weary eye!
Then, from divine inspiration; religion, philosophy and sciences. All can be severe. With many allusions to esoteric subject matter.
Knowing a little helps a lot.
And this writing? What is it!?
To the end of the world and back 💋
* The pen is mightier than the sword.
