Life is a mystery even for a writer and with that painful reality we feel immortal, and in time that same mystery ends.

The Living Soul of a Writer © 2011
Written by Joe Vojt

Immortality of the written word has driven many writers to become successful. Yet at the same time this is a very personal feeling, called life. To be driven beyond any human goal sets the mind into action to become a writer. We are word crafters that love to reach beyond that common thought. When the call comes, are we ever ready or in fact prepared to create what is a part of our writing soul?
We all know deep inside that life is only a one time occurrence, yet we close our eyes, psyche, and thoughts regarding this painful reality. Maybe it does not apply equally to me. Then you ask for some direction, but there is none. You search deep within your own essence and try to find the obvious, but even then sometimes that remains hidden.
Life is a mystery even for a writer and with that painful reality we feel immortal, and in time that same mystery ends. While reading can anyone draw from the inner most feelings past or future? How does that affect the most important element, of today as novelist? Have you seen what a difference it can make when the living soul of a writer has accomplished his or her goal? Yet resting does nothing, but writing allows the battery of life to regain its strength for another day, another time, and so it goes. Should it be different?
