Writers Creed

writer’s creed this is my pen, my PC, my laptop, my ipad, my phone--- all with which i write. there are many like them, but these are mine. my writing apparatus is my best friend. it is my life & i must master it as i must master my life. without me, this apparatus is useless. without this apparatus, i am useless. i must write whatever i like, whenever i like, for to write is to breathe & to breathe is to live. both my apparatus & myself know that what counts in the act of writing is not the conclusive piece written, but the process by which we come to such a conclusion. my apparatus is not human & therefore it does not carry with it the flaws & errors that accompany such a state of being. i will learn as i use it, overstepping weaknesses in myself & gaining strength in that same token. in doing so, i will make sure to keep my apparatus fully functional & updated to the best of my ability. before myself, those who may read my own work & whose work i read, i swear this creed--- beyond this i swear nothing to anyone, to anything, to anything that “could be” or that is still being pondered--- for we writers are the masters of the “now.” we are saviors to no one & victory in any sense, has never been an objective. this is what we do.
