Why I Love Booksie
By Anderson Brothers
Anyone that has tried to start a career in writing knows that there is nothing easy about it. There is the formatting, the contacting, the printing and the numbering. Then one sends out their work in hopes that one or two editors give it the light of day. All this trouble and I haven’t even touched on the problems of content, plot, and character development.
With such barriers against the young and excited writer how can one make it? How many Dickens and Hemmingways have been lost simply because no one had the chance to gaze at their genius? How many classics have been overlooked by jaded editors looking simply to glorify their own bank account? How many wonders have been passed to shadow?
It is impossible to know, but what is known is that such times are coming to an end. One of the most amazing things that have happen in the last ten years is the awaking of Hollywood and Publishers to the fact that people want more then fancy effects and heated love scenes. The people want stories. They want beautiful, complex, simple and intense stories that leave you breathless and exhausted as if you had finished a long journey.
That is the future, the unexpected. So how does a system built to be predictable create the unexpected? They can’t. Only the people can. The very ones that crave it. The ones that have lived it, that have breathed it and seen it. Only the soldiers of life’s daily battles can create such things, for they are the only ones far enough removed to see what the gentlemen’s club of the old have missed.
So how do these people bring their creations to the world? What worth does a master piece have if none see it, if none read it? That is why this time is special. For only in this time of seamless communication does it become possible.
And that is why I love Booksie. It is the platform that any person, young and old, from all walks in life can come to speak, to read and to create. Only in a place like Booksie can a writer truly be free. No editor to censor you, no publisher to push you and no people to downgrade you. Here one can create openly, as freely as the mind creates in a dream. Only here can one make the master pieces of the future. And that is why I love Booksie.
