Being an Author: Essay

 

Being an Author

I think that the most fascinating part of being an author is the time of the day immersed in telling a story and writing a poem that became a dominated part of my medium, carried out by the desire to rhyme and find the right words of self-expressions. When I bring my personal experiences and tone to create, various patterns begin to emerge… Creativity is the powerful force, and it is not a destination place to arrive. For me, creativity is a process. Most of the time the sparks of creativity come from whispers of the truly wonderful place surrounded by nature and time. Sometimes, it comes from personal challenges such as onsets of sadness and loss, love and happiness, any flashbacks accumulated from the personal journey and experiences. People say good readers are good writers.

Words drive me to write the universal truth of life, with positive vibes that are powered by motivational forces, and share my written words with readers. Obtained credibility and visibility are both important as self-insurance when surrounded by blessings from the fans, followers, and enthusiasts.

Authenticity matters, telling the truth, and being graceful for support and encouragement that moves writing process forward. I believe in myself that my voice is unique and matters. I hope I inspire my readers along the way of my literary journey. There are countless stories that are waiting to be told and shared. Writing allows me to grow together the ability to tell the story the best way I know how or rhyme my poems. In a way, when the writing comes to a fruition, the dream of visual literacy meets information literacy “on paper and ink.” (Tomshinsky, 2025)

Being an author means doubting yourself…and still writing anyway as being a person of bravery and courage, asking questions and finding answers. It means taking time to express myself and to exit my pal pen energy. Above all is the discipline to stay consistent, on course of self-discovery, and reflecting on memories, moments, and happenings in the poems and stories that are murmured by wind and shared by the body of craftmanship and passion. And if the readers on another end can feel my passion and enthusiasm, emotions and my heartbeats coming from my chest, then the task is successfully achieved.
