Existing Through Writing

Existing through writing means, for a soul that loves losing itself in the creative world and can return from that loss more fully itself, a companionship to which it is passionately bound.

Whether on a train, sipping coffee in a café, or feeling deeply tired from the world outside, being accompanied by a novel’s hero brought into being through one’s own writing, and being pulled into the atmosphere of a screenplay as it takes shape, become a journey that nourishes and transforms the writer.

Today, it is of course inevitable that readers have to be selective. In a world where new works are published every day, choosing is no longer so easy. As someone who loves both reading and writing deeply, I can look through both windows.

As a complement to my passion for logical structures in my work as a software developer, writing is the space where those structures come alive for me. This is true whether in the development of a novel’s characters or in the careful construction of a screenplay. As someone who breathes through writing, I believe that a book, a line, or a line spoken in a scene is often written for that one person alone.

And even imagining that one day I might know the rightful joy of touching that one person’s heart does me good.
