    the look in his eyes captivates you into listening and his storytelling hooks you instantly. I hope to be as good as him.

    I have never titled myself "writer" or "author" but I knew very early on ( about 6yrs old) I had a NEED, an impulsive drive, to share my creativity in story form. Cathartic release, my mind wouldn't stop creating events, characters, places and I needed to empty my mind to make room for the constant incoming. I'm guessing, this is a definition of a "writer"... I write nearly everyday, always something I see, I hear, I read about, creates ideas that come bombarding through any thought, I NEED to write this down, it's too interesting to keep inside. I know others will enjoy this idea.

    I have so much thought in my head I want tell people about how I feel and describe to them the story of my life I often have that feeling " I must write a book " but the problem is I don't know what are the characters which I'll use is there any roles in writing a book or it's just about writing all what it comes from my head I must learn more about the art of writing ❤

    Sire,
    Sire,
    please don’t call me a liar,
    for I swear I have not destroyed your
    pen outside of this beautiful empire.
    I am your lord, Avoris,
    and the truth of my pen,
    I
    aspire.
    But please,
    my lord,
    my ruler,
    my sire,
    I do not know; I swear I do not know
    where your pen is,
    for I am no liar.
    Liar,
    liar,
    but your clever lies,
    I do admire,
    but the truth of your treachery
    I solely desire.
    But what truth can I offer,
    if I am no liar?
    Why, your soul,
    entire.
    My soul entire?
    For the truth you require?
    How my soul,
    do you expect to acquire?
    Why,
    gods,
    rulers,
    miracles
    are my attire,
    and so your soul,
    with divine fire,
    I will tire;
    your soul,
    in you,
    the liar,
    and I will witness your soul
    retire.
    Please,
    my sire,
    spare me this grief,
    for I would never provoke
    your ire.
    I know it is you, Avoris,
    my squire,
    who stole my pen
    for your own desire,
    you stole it from me
    when we passed that spire,
    for it was your wish,
    against me,
    to conspire.
    My lord,
    my sovereign,
    my sire,
    I swear I did not take the pen,
    I couldn’t have…
    please believe that I am no liar.
    I do care for you,
    my squire,
    but I do not believe that you are no
    liar;
    I see your lies
    lifting you higher,
    higher,
    with your mind
    on fire,
    deep into my wrath,
    entire.
    I see your soul,
    so dire,
    surrounded by my divine slaves:
    the gods,
    the miracles,
    all disguised as my attire…
    Avoris,
    let the truth transpire,
    save your soul,
    and for once…
    be no liar.
    Okay…
    it was me who stole your pen,
    but I did not destroy it in divine fire,
    I couldn’t,
    I wanted to but I couldn’t
    because I lost it prior.
    I know, Avoris,
    I know you did not destroy my pen,
    for I already have it back.
    It came back to me, Avoris,
    and it told me everything.
    And that is how I knew you were a liar,
    and now I shall take your soul,
    and watch it burn
    in divine fire.
