Title:
Absorbing Sheringham .
A writer must write . The written word holds strong appeal . Writing is the art. Reading is the summation . There is tangible placidity , not found in anything else . Having laid out your pens and paper you are at liberty to smoke , meditate , ruminate , and even to sleep dreamily , if all goes well . Nothing can disturb you , as you muse . It is like life , in the isle of the Lotus . A writer must write . But it requires new experiences , emotions and parameters , to sustain it . That is what it is about . You know that too. The critics and non-believers can all go suck ! We don't go through this to please armchair philosophers , to provoke the banal - 'What's the point ? ' Writing is the same as climbing mountains . There is no point if you cannot see it , feel it , touch it , or experience the highs and lows . A writer must write . The written word is eloquent communication . You write to try and reach an audience . Sometimes it feels like a vacuum , because you are unsure what the audience wants . To entertain ? To inform , to shock , or amuse or instruct ? Or just a statement that says - ' This is how it was ' . Writers are restless types . There is no great inspiration in self-contentment . A writer must write . But now , the pens are in their cases . The paper put away . Summer will come and go . And come again , and yet again . And if I am spared , I will be waiting for the muse . I am content to wait , habitually . Waiting is part of it . I am well used to it .
