Writers

We all have those television shows or movies we watch over and over again. These are the classics like Love Actually and Doctor Who which continue to draw in the viewers every year. These are the things we watch year after year without getting tired. Sure, the actors play a role but they do not make up their own words do they? Do you think Jack Nicholson just improvised "You can't handle the truth!" in A Few Good Men? Of course he didn't. Always, there were people there telling him what to say. Always behind the scenes creating the characters we have grown to love. Always there were writers and without them where would we be?


Remember those big television or movie moments that defined a generation of viewers? Remember the edge-of-your-seat writing of the great and glorious Alfred Hitchcock? How about the humorous yet romantic writing in Love Actually? Who could have possibly thought of the shocking plot twists in Revenge? The writers of course! To be able to write such thrilling and hooking drama must really show a skill. Their innate ability to leave clues throughout the movie or series only to be drawn together all in the final moments is a gift. These writers are like a breed of their own. They are one of the many unsung heroes of our world. Without them we would most certainly be lost.


Where would we be without these writers? What would our television shows and movies be like? What of all the genres these writers create? With them gone does it all disappear? We would become a society with an entertainment system simply devoid of all entertainment. We would be living on facts without a creative bone in our existence. It would simply be evolved out of us. Someone unable to move for a long time has to teach themselves to move all over again. Our society would simply lose our creativity. We would have less architecture and more squares. Writers are artists and without them our lives become boxes. Boxes no one has even the slightest capacity to think out of. Writers are truly inspiring people and without them we stand to lose so much.


May the odds be ever in your favour, see you tomorrow!
