Writing at it's finest

The idea of Writing:
It's the same way you build anything, start from scratch. First you begin with a thought, a small piece of your imagination and then set it to paper.
This thought can be found anywhere. Maybe you see an advertisment on the side on a bus, or maybe you see a person wearing a funky color, maybe you encounter a string of thoughts that lead to this one brilliant pearl of an idea. It's as simple as that, you start writing it down with as many descriptive words as possible and then magically this solitary thought pops out of your head, on to paper, and flurishes into a perfect masterpiece. Then your creation sells for more than it's worth and receives a rep for the greatest piece of writing since sliced bread.

The truth about Writing:
First you start with the idea, develope it, and then you decide it's too big of a chore to actually do anything with. You store it in the back of your mind until one day, when you realize you've done nothing with your life, you sweep away the cobwebs, refine, and polish that old idea and begin fresh. For the first time you decide it's worthy of  being writen down, but of course your words are misfit and your sentences are sloppy. Eh,who cares? You lay down the foundation, cement the poorly shaped cinderblocks, and from there begin to build. You slave away in your quarters, devoting every spare minute you have to this piece of shit you'd like to think is art, in hopes that once it's complete you'll be able to make something of it. Maybe it's not as bad as you think it is, maybe you just need to add a few more pages, maybe fill in the holes with some more cement? Vuala, months later you've extracted an original thought and gave it life.

To Conclude:
The process of writing is being able to create life. You'd like to think that it would come out as beautifully as Adam or Eve, but in all reality it comes out looking like Frankinstein's Monster. The process is time consuming and exhausting, and the result maybe ugly and hard to look at, nevertheless, it's your masterpiece. You've created something out of nothing.
