"The Whispering Paintings"
In the heart of the city, there was a small, mysterious art gallery called "The Whispering Paintings." The name itself was a whisper, a gentle breeze that carried the secrets of the art within. The gallery was tucked away in a quiet alley, its entrance almost invisible to the naked eye. Only those who knew its existence could find it, and even then, only if they listened closely to the whispers of the paintings.

Satironic Meta Magical Realism
Narrator's preface: The writer who is the protagonist of the below story includes an author's preface in many of his written works. Generally these are full of psuedo intellectual clap trap that sounds intelligent at first blush, but upon closer inspection is actually nonsense. He was not available to provide an author's preface in this case telling me that he was busy "inventing a brand new genre of writing" which he had dubbed satironic meta magical realism. And there you have it, a perfect example of what I meant with that intelligent nonsense comment. Apparently he was doing this in order that he might produce a story he could enter in a writing contest for some two bit website nobody has ever heard of much less cares about. I told him good luck and offered to dream something up to cover his author's preface for this "story." His fan base which consists primarily of persons recently released from or soon to be committed to a mental institution, prisoners, hobos and homeless vagabounds get very agitated when he fails to include an author's preface in any given story he writes. Of course they also get agitated by anything anyone else considers normal. Ah well. Enjoy the below, or don't, it's no skin off my back either way.

To My Fellow Writers
To my Fellow Writers: Hey, I’m one of you. I also feel like I have a million hearts and a million feelings bubbling inside me that just won’t write itself down on paper. I know what it feels like to harvest storms in your soul that rack every cell of your body until you feel like you’re going to explode. I know what it feels like to walk down the street, every storefront reflection screeching at you to write, write, write, every pebble begging to be part of a story. I know what it feels like to live the rollercoaster life only writers have.

Challenging Myself To Challenges
The empty page. The blinking insertion point. The pure, brilliant white void that stares deep into your soul, beckoning for your call. The sheer scope of possibilities, formats and genres can overload the brain until it implodes and is left as empty as the paper in front of you. Writers block can become, if you allow it, an insurmountable obstacle if not broken down.

Whether personal writing has already revealed you its wonder or you are just setting out on your excursion, the article will give you a road map and decent gear for it. The necessity of efficient personal writing. Personal writing is more than writing texts: it is how you acquire the key to your true self. Writing about loves is how you start doing artistic compression, cleansing, and ratifying your loves: the one that revs your engine, the one that makes you full, the one that makes you move along. It can also be a great tool of character-building. Common struggles. Fear of vulnerability. Fear of self-distrust. Fear of misarticulating one’s words.
