Anne's Writing Tips 1: What is Writing?

I'm not an expert in this, and I am no more that a girl aspiring to be a writer some day. Still, I have some ideas of how I should write, what I should write, and when I should write. But the most important thing is What is Writing. Not for you, not for me, for us. All of us.
I say it again - I don't think of myself as an expert in writing, but I write, wrote and will write; I can't live without writing. For me, air and writing have equal importance; writing is, like air - tameless, timeless, tireless. Three "T". That's how I like to call it.
Words are more powerful than anything - they reach people's hearts and minds - they entertain, educate, inspire. After reading a good book, you sometimes remain with a sweet, lingering, warm feeling; you want more. That is called a good book.
If your book is neat, and comes in an error-free strong package, your readers will most likely love it; even if your writing is weak, they say: "So what? The plot is good. You will improve". But if the text is full of errors and messy, they would understand nothing; readers will get confused. Distracted from the plot. And that's bad for your book.
Before your words touch the reader's heart, your words need to get to your own heart. Don't be afraid to get emotional; it's a sign you're on the good path. Don't be afraid of errors - they can be corrected later, and it's a sign that you want to write.
Sometimes, I want to write so badly that it hurts - I can't do anything except thinking about what should I write. It's like a drug. I started taking it, then couldn't stop myself.
But still, I think writing is the best drug there is on this Earth.

Fiction must make SENSE."
