I've never once met an abstraction that sent a shiver up my spine. Writing captures the feelings of events and people, whether these feelings be of joy, sorrow, anger, or enthusiasm. It can help us revisit the past, enjoy and critique the present, glimpse the future, and can be read, reread, and pondered through the ages. To be able to share experience through words and descriptive phrases enriches peoples' lives.
Good writing is more than a technical skill.
The best writing results from the understanding and expression of one s bond with others. When an experience, real or imaginary, gets transferred from mind to paper, it is forever preserved. Write well, and you can always return to relive a special moment or reclaim a special feeling. By experiencing life, then crafting our imaginations through our hearts and our pens, we create a youth that never dies. It's important to say what you mean, and mean what you say.
