Me, Myself And My Writing

Chapter One 

I'm getting ready to post something I've been writing about witches. It's called the Nine Sisters. I don't know why I didn't do it before? Being a writer is scary. It's something that you have worked hard on! But we all have to start somewhere because it's  getting the word out is everything when you are a writer. I want to make it into a TV show but then I was thinking why not a book as well.

In history witches where all seen as evil but in really honest witches believed in many thing's, one being the most important and is that our Earth is something to be protected and honoured. It gives life. It provides us with food, medicine and the air we breathe.

There is a sacred tree the Tree of Life. It's one of the oldest trees. If anything should happen to this tree then our are world, our earth will no longer exist. 

This why we are protecting it and you. Even if you don’t accept us or believe in us, we believe in you to do the right thing. 

We are the Nine Sisters and we are Earth, Wind, Fire and Water all the elements of the earth. We have magic but we sure I one thing we cannot do is make someone love someone. As love is the most powerful magical spell of all.

I'm am the Head Witch of the Coven

I wish you blessings and joy

Writers As Philosophers

Writers as Philosophers

I think writers are philosophers.

“A writer is someone who uses written words to communicate ideas, stories, or information. A philosopher is someone who studies fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language, often engaging in critical thinking and systematic analysis. While distinct, these roles can overlap, with some writers deeply engaging in philosophical inquiry and some philosophers utilizing writing as a primary mode of expression.”

From the internet

While some become doctors and lawyers, others become something different: creative individuals.

But with innovation and science, perhaps we need to understand our world before we can finally accept what we have to protect. We are a species forever learning what we can and can't do.

“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

J. Robert Oppenheimer

“In ancient Pompeii, scribes were professional writers who handled various tasks, including recording official communications, legal documents, and even electoral propaganda. They were responsible for the writing on walls, scrolls, and other surfaces, similar to how we use paper or social media today.

Scribes wrote official records of buying and selling slaves, and of public decisions.

They also wrote propaganda messages on walls to support specific candidates.

Pompeii's walls were covered with graffiti.

The existence of scribes and the prevalence of graffiti suggest a degree of literacy in Pompeii, though not everyone was literate.

Scribes used a variety of materials, including wax tablets, styluses, and possibly different types of ink, to create their writings.”

From the internet

Just as newspapers today publish articles to spread propaganda, communication has always been about spreading information about certain subjects, especially in government and elections.

Is it a way to tell people how to think?

I say the sky is blue, where someone else might say, "Well, actually, it's different colors of blue, not just blue."

It's how everyone imagines their ideal world and how it is created or perceived.

This is what we writers must do: understand both sides of the story. We have to be sympathetic to other people's feelings and how issues affect them.

Being a writer is a lonely pursuit, but when someone tells you that something you wrote helped them overcome something or changed their life in a way that made sense to them, that is what every writer wants to hear.

You can't reach everyone! But writing isn't about how you live; it's the understanding of how we think and feel about certain subjects and how everyone reacts to them, and in the process, helping someone understand they're not alone.

A Song I Like From Sleep Token

I was shown this song by my son. He's into Bring me the horizon etc. I have always liked Linkin Park.

It reminds me of how life changes and show we let others treat us because of it. 

How things stay with us and how hard it is to let things go.

This is the part of the song I like

TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN 

BY SLEEP TOKEN

My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre come now, bite through these wires I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher 

Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I guess it goes to show, does it not? That we've no idea what we've got until we lose it and no amount of love will keep it around if we don't choose it and I don't know what's got its teeth in me but I'm about to bite back in anger no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence

I feel it's about having love for ourselves and not letting others use and hurt us.
