Personality Of The Pen

To be a writer is to be of many minds it seems. I can move easily and flawlessly from one to another. My speech and dialect can change at the drop of a hat along with my passions, fears, and motivations. I will have many names and faces, pasts, and presents.

I need not be one person at any one moment for I can be many. I can be an entire world if I so desire it and wield my pen skillfully enough. I can be as dark as I desire with no consequences, creating plot holes and road blocks for the others or I can be a person of light. Solving the problems and making timely decisions.

I can be the hero, the fallen, or the villain. I can be any gender or none. I can be a child, adult, an elder, or even the dead. I can kill myself over and over again only to be reborn in another form with the next sentence.

I am my characters and they are me. I haven’t experienced first hand a lot of the things they have but through them I can travel this world or a world of my own creation. I can know what it’s like to stand against all odds or to buckle under pressure. I can go on adventures of sit in a single paragraph slowly revealing information word by word while keeping you in utterly infuriating suspense.

I am a writer. My pen gives me something similar to multiple personality disorder and I enjoy every minute of it. I don’t think I could stand to be stuck within one mind, one body, one world, or one life. I want to experience it all and that’s what keeps me clicking away at the keyboard.
