Authors of Life

Just could not go to sleep... Thought writing my ghost story would sent me to dreamland. Now i am still finding that ticket to dreamland. As i write my story, characters in it gain more and more exposure. Readers will get to know how they are like, their personality and how they look. By the descriptive power of words, one is able to imagine the character out. How i wish i could be one character in a story. I do not need to be the main character, but just a simple character would be fine. As a story character, you do not need to find yourself. The author gives you what he wants. He choose what you need to know, how you look like and why you are created. You do not need to bother what happens next as it is already chosen. Good or bad, you have to accept it. Be it a tall, charming prince on a white horse or a young, beautiful lady with long locks of hair and silky smooth skin. All these characters are given what they need to survive in the story. Given what they need to do, need to know, need to say and more. All are given to them. Mere puppets to tell the tale of the author. In the story world, the author is God. He determines who lives, who dies. Who is rich, who is poor. Who will be happy, who will be sad. Thinking like this... Do you think we are authors of our own lives? We determine who we look like, how we look at other people. We determine whether we are to be rich or poor. We determine ourselves to be happy or sad. We are actually writing a story. Our personal story. Friends, family, teachers, anyone that you meet is a character in your story. You are the main character. You are the author. You have the highest power and the most attention paid to in a story. Make it short, make it long. Make it happy or sad. Have it be a mystery or a comedy to people who read it. It is up to you. You make the choice. Be the author of your life.
