The Heart, The Most Genuine of Sources

Ed Howe, born in the year 1853 in the Wabash County of Missouri where he lived with his father. His relationship with his father was rather unpleasant, causing Ed to move out when he was 15. He then got a job as a tramp writer until he was twenty, when he bought a newspaper company The Atchison Globe. Ed was then discovered by Pete Jones upon reading his articles. From there Pete published Ed's first book The Story of a Country Town, where Ed talks about his unpleasant life in Missouri. From there, his literary work became famous. I chose Ed as my blog topic because his quote, "Any man who will look into his heart and honestly write what he sees there, will find plenty of readers." Personally, this quote means a lot to me in terms of my literary capabilities. This quote is basically saying that originality in your literature, is what the readers look for. This work is genuine, interesting and from your heart. Whenever I try to write a story, I think too hard to find a topic, and usually someone has already written about it. So I take the easy way out and write about first dates, love stories etc. I never write about what is in my heart because I am paranoid on what people will say about me. Some topics include my hardships through elementary school, being the new kid in class, or my most embarrassing moment. Writers Craft however helps me realize now that if I stick with my gut and write what is truly in my heart, I will create a wonderful piece of literature! I am given the power to create a wonderful story, and the it will have the power to entertain because what is in my heart, readers will love to know about.
