LIFE OF A WRITER


Writers get bored easily, you have to steer up their interest before you both can flow on the same level of mutual understanding. Their level of susceptibility is despicably high because they value words like gold, Apparently this is more reason why they are very alluring ' The weirdness attached to their unfolding personality. They listen when you talk & create rudiment of an escape plan. They value comfort like pen & paper, they rather be alone free, sour, ponder & strategize on there next move. Just in a single line, they can make you feel so glorious, that feeling you get when you riding on a fast horse. The world of a writer is incredible, but when he/she is in pain, they rather paint a picture or pour out words on paper to overcome. Give them depth in conversation & they will feed your intellect beyond the natural realm a human can gasps. They are quite good at predicting, they can analyse your every move within minutes. Some writers live in a world of imagination which (sometimes) manifest into reality of it kind. They live like actors in novels, constantly gravitating towards that which is real. They are mysterious in nature, just when you think you've gotten to the trenches the root that leads to their soul, they change the event around. They are easily captivated by readers but readers have the ability to see through them because they read books which expose them to the possible thought a writer might be experiencing even before manifestation of actions. A writer can't be classified as a fighter because he uses his words to create peace rather than engage in conflict. 
When conversing with a writer & he/she takes a break, he/she probably just remembered the word to complete the last line of poetry or story which is long due or there was no depth in conversation & escape was key to self relief.. A writer never uses the word right or isn't it, because they feel it reveals & shows lack of confidence. In recent times people haven't really been able to understand the life of a writer. Avoid reading the drafts of a writer, they can make you rain at the same time shine like the sun & your smile will unconsciously mimick the shape of the rainbow. Great men like Nicholas Sparks did that in the past, in his novel titled message in a bottle. 
There are so many ways to spark up the interest of a writer- 

1)Give them depth in conversation & interaction.

2) Feed them with words they are unfamiliar with, they will run back to their dictionary & this will make them see you as a challenge. writers love be challenged. Remember they easily get bored.

3) Writers love vulnerability, susceptibility. Show them your soul, rawness in words. They crave for intimacy but they rather spend time exchanging words than exchange of touch. 

4) Feed them with unrestricted words like a portion of poison tell them you like their new book, they will wallow in tears the day you pack your bags & decide to leave.
lastly
5) They love mental stimulation, like malanda.j rightly said - A woman that reads is gold to a man that thinks.

“YOU SHOULD DATE A GIRL WHO READS.

This is actually my first post so i decided to go a little further by doing a research for you guys. I hope y'all find this interesting.

Written by- Rosemarie Urquico
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries
out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the
reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn. She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her
mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might
give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.
Buy her another cup of coffee.
Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she
loves Alice or if she would like to be Alice.It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries.
Give her the gift of words, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love.
Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to
make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does. She has to give it a shot somehow.Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It
will not be the end of the world.
Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls
who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That
you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two. Why be frightened of everything that you are not?
Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series. If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When
you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but
she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest
yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes.She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will
walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You
deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then
you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who writes.
