Well I do not know if I am a master or not. If I feel it I write it. I know that is far from being technically sound but as long as one is enjoying it Levels does not matter. Unless its a job and that is a whole new beast all together.
Words and emotions is what sepeerate the novice from master writer. Nice one, Tom. You look great.
This is why a professional writer is a professional. Professionals don’t only put words together, they also add emotions to their write-ups.
Wow! It is a journey to being master. You are a master in both photography and writing.
That’s why we call professionals writers professionals..great quote tom..
Emotions attached to each writing is important. That’s what makes reader feel what the writer felt while writing. I love the quote
The gaps between a professional is much compared to an amateur or a beginner. You have said and made a reasonable quite Tom.
A novice anywhere will always behave like a naive but this can’t said about a professional, same with writing.
This quote is pretty much true. Only a wise and experienced word weaver of a writer who is a master of his or her craft will be able to reach and tap into their readers’ imaginations and emotions more than what a bunch of words from those novices who can’t. I wish I would be able weave words like that some day.
I guess it’s true, the fact that someone can writte well already creates a conection betweern him/her and the words.
An expert will always speak from the heart. I always salute you, Tom.
Spoken like a true maestro. This is so true with regards to writing.
This is the true distinction between amateur and master writers. I couldn’t have put it better myself.
A good writer becomes one with his writing. Almost as if he is living what he is writing.
It is for this reason that it is much more enjoyable to read a master’s writing. You have hit the nail on the head with this quote!
I am very touched by this quote. As a budding writer this will guide me well in my journey as a writer. Thanks Tom.
