epiphany -
Definition: a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.
paradigm shift -
Definition: a fundamental change in approach or assumptions
I think I've realised what I'm supposed to do, I've found my calling, my gift. My entire life has been inexorably grinding toward a single character, a frame in which to hold all my other selves. Someday I will be a famous author. Some people are born with a gift to play football, or a gift to diagnose illnesses, to play chess. They use their innate advantages and shine where they are the elite, earning enough to live in luxury. Why wouldn't I use my abilities to do what I love?
I've been reading ever since I had the ability to read, and I have only made a small dent in what I know I need to read. Run-on sentances galore. I think if I get serious about writing and improve myself, if I master the written word as a method of communication, I can write great books, I will be famous for it. I need to take a typing class so that I could type without thinking about it. I need to keep reading nonstop, to try to understand different styles of writing, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. I need to find my own style, I need to set aside time every day and write something just for the sake of writing. I need to take writing classes, to read books about writing, to figure out how the publishing industry works. At the same time I have to live my life, I need to build experiences, find out more about who I am.
Immediate Implications: Very little. Keep reading. Start to think of stories. Write short stuff for practice. Drink, smoke, work, learn till the fat lady sings. And the bass keeps runnin and runnin and runnin and runnin......
