How To Become a Writer in 12 Steps: PART IV

We all want to be writers, it's a fact. The reason is simple: we want to create our own reality. And in fact, we already ARE writers. We create our own reality every day. Not through writing always, but through how we view the world. Take a quick scenario. You see a man driving a large pick-up truck. How do you interpret it? In other words, how do you WRITE it, IN YOUR MIND? Are you a pansy-ass liberal who sees the truck as a worthless status symbol? Or are you an asshole conservative who doesn't give a shit about anyone else and drives whatever the fuck he wants? Or, are you an enlightened piece of shit who delights in all human life, regardless of the trappings of this physical world? Either way, you are a piece of shit, no matter how you view the world. And that is the fourth lesson in our series.
