Realization

When most people think of the word author or writer they think about this person with infuriatingly amazing ideas flowing through their minds. Truly I tell you authors are just regular human beings with a high sense of boredom. They lead a life that is so boring that it gives them ideas to write about, fantasies of the life they truly want to live. Let me give you a quick but devastating example, In the movie “The Fault In Our Stars”, The beautiful yet on the verge-of-death couple who bonded over their favorite book, overcame every obstacle to go meet the author of the book, once there, they meet this lifeless old man that drinks himself to bed every night. I mean that is impossible such a person cannot write such a beautiful breathtaking story, but that’s where you’re wrong.

There is this psychological term named arousal and people with low arousal are people who tend to get bored quickly and easily and I believe authors are by nature low arousal individuals. There is a concept that claims the more bored people are the more sense of imagination they have because their minds create these scenarios that are truly fake but surely creative.

Well obviously their form of creativity is writing but the root of that beautiful text, that amazing script, or that really good book is just some guy or gal that wants people to know the life they desire, the truth they want, or how they want others to understand them. As an admirer of all forms of art, the ability to express yourself within your individual favorite art is idiosyncratic but above all else, everything starts with great writing and great writing stems from a regular human being that just happened to be bored.
