To Write

Initial:

Writing is when you invent a virtual playground for yourself to escape to. It is an alternate universe in which you master the pencil and thus the control. It is a place that you delve into, a place that consists of parts of yourself which you are not able to accept in real life. This is both a pleasure and a pain. In order to write well you must both have the correct tools at your disposal, but you must also have the correct state of mind. This state of mind is one which you yourself must define. As such it is not anything concrete but abstract. You can be taught how to write good stories, a good storyline and interesting characters. You cannot, however, be taught how to insert yourself into what you write. And that is where the pleasure of writing truly lies; within the discovery of oneself.

Final w/nouns replaced + conquered back:

Writing is when you invent an in all but name ground for yourself to escape to. It is a rotating natural world in which you master the description and thus the containment. It is a community that you delve into, a community that consists of bites of yourself which you are not able to accept in real continuance of life. This is both a pleasurable diversion and a painful cramp. In order to write well you must both have the correct gadgets at your disposal, but you must also have the correct character of eye. The trait of observing, that is. This character of eye is one which you yourself must define. As such it is not anything concrete but abstract. You can be taught how to write good parables, a good movement within the plot and an interesting cast. You cannot, however, be taught how to insert yourself into what you write. And that is where the pleasurable diversion of writing truly settles; within the determination of oneself.
