Reading and Writing

I have this theory that no one could really keep all the knowledge and inputs without putting out some outputs in some ways which then means that if you read a lot of books, there will come a time when you somehow have to write them out in your own ways.

This year of 2013 has been a fruitful year in the Tiffany's Literature Land. I have been reading tons of books written by a lot of other authors and that makes me feel happy and grateful. I have only been reading and re-reading Harry Potter series for a while now and also the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. And in 2012, the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins is added to the collection. But in 2013, I have been introduced and recommended to a wide range of books and genres, the likes of The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green ( and his 3 other books) and of course, the rather new Mortal Instrument series( 6 books in total) and Infernal Devices series( 3 books) by Cassandra Clare.

One thing about how amazing it is to be able to read new books rather than the obvious reason of having new stories and fictions to read, is to have a taste and insight to how different every author writes and how the writing style reflects to their individual lifestyles. This is maybe not very obvious or valuable to a regular reader, but to any aspiring writer out there, it is golden, in my opinion anyways.

I just love to observe and analyse how everyone writes and how the styles give different auras to different stories, it is an amazing thing to do actually. It is definitely obvious that authors in the modern era write differently from authors like Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and so on. It leads me to wonder whether I have my own unique style of writing too and how my writing style compare to other people's.

After reading different kinds of books by different authors, I come to realise that the bottom line of writing any book is the existence of knowledge and real-life experience and not just the writing styles and the fantastic usage of words and twist of sentences. Of course, this makes me wonder again whether I have enough experience to write the stuffs I think I want and could write. Right now, I still think I'm lack of it though. But young people could be successful authors too right ? As my mum said, 'Dont ever question what you write,'. That's an awesome advice because I always question what I wrote and then tried to change them and then ended up with nothing which makes me sad always.

So now what I'm trying to do is to write whatever that comes to mind and not question it and go with the inspiration, the flow and my gut feeling. I do think it will work out well.
