People Need Some Knowledge...
All around the world, at this very moment, people
are being taught something – in schools, colleges, at tutor’s lessons, at a
dinner table – in the academic sense. People receive new information,
theoretical foundation for enriching their knowledge base, acquire new skills
and become more “educated”, implying the fact those being taught perceive the
information, interpret it and store in their minds for further use and
implementation.
Is It Art or Science?
Writing, on the other side, along with some other
disciplines deemed to have more from art than from science or academic
innovations, has been viewed as something one can have an inborn talent to
accomplish, not something one can master having compiled the heard advice, the
received pointers, the necessary instructions and the explained techniques.
Without a doubt, strict and straightforward guidelines, the ability to extract
just the needed portion of information from numerous sources, blending it
together with own interpretations and structuring the gathered content into a
well-composed paper following all the rules of the English language might do
the trick in terms of producing a piece of writing one can be positively graded
for. After all, having all instructions and guidelines under one’s belt, it is
hard to do something wrong, but can the writing be called a truly unique,
nicely composed, innovative in its own manner and interesting to read piece of
writing? Probably, not quite.
Is It Really The Gift That Matters?
Writing techniques can be
taught, paper formats can be mastered, but having this natural ability to make
the paper flow, to brushstroke through the blank canvas with words, ideas and
thoughts and turn it into a masterpiece requires another kind of talent – not
the gift to learn and gather information, but the gift to find the right words
and enjoy the very process of writing.
I do enjoy it and I hope You will enjoy it as well! Share your own opinion upon the topic. I am so eager to read it :-)
