Maybe this urge is common among young people, especially sentimental girls.
The problem is I don't always have materials to narrate.
More often than not when some extraordinary incidents occurred, I'm always so overwhelmed by any relative emotions evoked that I would be too shaken to write a word.
This funny (yet common) trait is not unique on me, the newspaper editor in Six Napoleons also experienced the same thing.
However if I'm fortunate enough to write down something, I want it to be interesting enough to evoke some, at least some no matter how trivial, ripples of sentiments of the reader.
Before achieving that, as to to be able to touch others, I must move myself with my own words first.
This is a basic concept to almost everything.
Then about language skills.
Definitely I'm not a fantastic and illustrative writer who can literally play a lively movie in front of readers' eyes by using mere words like Dan Brown.
Though it's something I always want to achieve.
I try to brush up my language skills by reading great novels written by good authors, so far my favorites are books by Dan Brown and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The problem with Dan Brown is that the story begins captivating and ends sloppy.
Whereas Sir has a wide range of historical knowledge which he eagerly wants to integrate into his conventional fictions and too often the amount becomes a bit too bulky that simply bores the reader.
Yet again I guess to be a good reader patience and some form of resilience are required as well.
Hopefully one day I can write clearly and interestingly, which may eventually benefit me financially.
Laugh out loud.
I'm serious.
