The Power of the Written Word

Today, my brother commented that I could start writing(professionally), judging from my entries, and from my recent works with the new site. I think I could pull that off. I figured I've already tried out most things in my life, might as well add writing to that, right?

Seriously, I just found writing to be a good outlet of my thoughts, which is the same perspective I have for my sketching. Starting out as a hobby and then getting myself to this point, I feel that it's as if circumstance has given me the gift of responsibility.

You see, the thing about the written word is that ideas(whether it be good or bad) are believed by people when they are placed on paper. The power of the immortalized word is so great that it seeps into the public consciousness over time. Sadly, most of the ideas that get through are instrumental to pushing the envelope of morality.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But it is not just an instrument of evil but of life as well. A great burden is given to each one who wields its power.
