Just like other writers, I have reasons why I love to write all the things that interest me. It is not just about for "fun" or "to generate income". For me, something deeper than that.
According to Merriam-Webster, the word "primer" is a "material used in priming a surface". In regards to writing, "primer" is the very core of writing. It is the fuel or the internal force that makes a person write.
My explanation below is actually the introductory page from my book published in Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing entitled "The Spectator's Tale: Collation of Short Stories and Essays".
"A masterpiece comes from the heart, cleverly created with so much intelligence, and it is crafted by emotions and flourished by genuine judgments. Emotions, desire, and intent influence the outcome. But then, hidden just beneath, its true sense of clarity cannot be perceived through the ears, and it is not so flamboyant for you to grasp its real essence.
Verbal communication is not my expertise, for I know that the best way to convey my true self is by way of writing. My tongue tangled and trembled with discomfort, and though I was armed with eagerness, I still failed to let them hear my ideas.
Writing is something I profoundly desire to relieve and lessen my weariness caused by uncharted pain and to direct my excitement through this to fully express the things I have in mind.
For me to express all my sentiments and reactions, I prefer to engrave my thoughts in words that the eyes and heart can see, because the eyes can perceive the tangible letters, and it’s the heart that construes what’s behind those printed words. I write compositions and hold my true feelings deep within because they contain my persona. It describes my personality and it defines the totality of me.
Certainly, I clothed my works in allegories and metaphors, for that’s the only thing I could preserve myself, so vague and subtle but not so vulgar. But sometimes that depends on the intensity of the subject that is being described. The way of expressing certain judgments should not be entirely presumptive but just a pre-requisite and a portion of the all-inclusive scheme to completely understand the thoughts.
Conversely, candidness and roughness can be useful at times, but those loutish lines are quietly clothed sublimely and skillfully handled so as not to lose their true connotation, and with the use of moderators that can firmly attend to their meaning to deliver the thoughts in great fancy.
But what’s beneath my work that made them ask for clarity, which in truth is understandable to their perception? It is in my great understanding that I vividly adorned my piece with a shallow style of inscription to distinguish and comprehend it directly by mere faculties. If their comprehension prevents them from recognizing its full potent implications, they will naturally end up with nothing. And my composition will remain as it is—untouched.
And, in my own mind, I compose to express and be acknowledged – to recognize the true spirit of my masterpiece. I always wish that someone could decipher what was going on behind those words and idioms that ornamented my writings. I write every single phrase with my heart because words without my heart are like flowers without fragrance in spring, or like trees without leaves.
I write because I want to leave a remarkable trace in the minds and hearts of my readers by giving them the inspiration to inculcate and motivate themselves to accept the nature of my art, though not so compelling but truly helpful beyond explanation. And yet, my words don’t seem to rhyme, but the thoughts and passions therein will lead you back from the never-ending recesses of metaphors. Within my thoughts, you will feel my heart and emotions; you will see me and grasp stability and fulfillment. Allegories will help you, but don’t be deceived by mere symbols, for the genuine sense lies not in a single word alone."
