Learning About Writing Is Learning To Create Better Life

There's simple logic in this - writing is joy. A joyful life is more abundant.

Communication is an art. Living is an art.

It's not surprising that writing explains living.

And vice-versa.

When I got onto writing fiction, I went about it following patterns...

People, it's reported, like their stories in certain formats.

You know these.

There are Beginnings, Middles, Ends. And the best stories all develop so that there is an ending that makes sense.

And the Middles are written toward the Ends.

Meanwhile, the Beginnings always transport the reader right into a new world - at least the best ones do. So readers can find themselves at the Middles, and pointed toward the Endings.

Sure, that new world may be a character's view of things. Or it's dropping a person right into the middle of a very active, vibrant scene.

For some reason - and this is true for non-fiction as well - people like this particular pattern in their stories.

Because this gives them some sense and explains their lives this way.

People are motivated - in just a few ways, really - to go out to the world and get something accomplished. And the most motivational quotes you read are those which deal with goals.

We also compare ourselves to others who do or don't make something of their lives. Are our Middles going toward something great - or even just better - than what we are experiencing now?

You can take up Earl Nightingale, where he discovered so many people know this Strangest Secret where "we become what we think about".

Or you can study Claude M. Bristol, where he tells you how your beliefs have the magic to re-shape the world that you experience.

While the ever-famous Napoleon Hill essentially said that the greatest lives we've ever seen were something like My Fair Lady - where the lowly flower girl makes it her burning desire to become a lady of means with her own flower shop - and makes it happen.

All these jump around another common truth: we create our worlds. It's through our ideas and ideals that we repeat to ourselves daily. We expect much or little of our lives.

When you study how to communicate better through writing, then you find that life is actually quite simple. And marvelous. And remarkable.

Because once you take over the creative process, and study it thoroughly, you now know how our lives themselves are created by humans on this Earth. By what they think and do every day with what they have.

And you already know enough to do this on your own. Because you already are.

All you have to do now is to recognize that as a fact and take charge of doing it causatively. Become better at your art. Communicate better. Live better.

Study the patterns around you and emulate them through what you say, what you write, how you live life. Make your life, our world, a better place.

Too simple. Because we are each doing this already, all day long.

Have fun at this.

PS. This is what we cover in the first section of the course. Goals and achieveing them. Studying successful authors (like the above) who have - and lived to write bestsellers about how they did it.
