If you are a dreamer whose dreams are measureless before reality, if words mean more to you than just ink on paper and instead, in an endless stream of words, you see a world of infinite possibilities and a hint of truth, than you a writer.
We, here at the Writing Hive, love all forms of writing - some more than others, to be honest. There are different kinds of writing - experimental writing, prose, verse, using collage to tell a story. But most importantly, one must have a story to tell.
A story does not have to be of particular significance, or of political value. A story can be the steram of thoughts going through your mind at the speed of a bullet train while eating nasi lemak for breakfast. Writing is to me, the breath of life. Without a story, one may still live and yet remain lifeless.
Some people, or rather, most people seem to think that writing requires particular skill or knowledge but really all you need is a story and an initiative to tell that story.
And if you want to say something but you are unsure of what it is you are trying to communicate, then perhaps, all you have to do is to ask yourself - Why write?
