Write, write, write… Write for more. Nothing to write. Write anyway. Maintaining the attitude of writing down your thoughts is exhausting. Especially when you feel you need to make progress, you might feel guilty for every minute you don’t contribute to your process. "I should have written another chapter or a better dialogue by now.” I honestly have no idea if every writer feels this way, but I would bet that the majority do. After all, they all share the same mentality when

Living things are imitators by nature . Regardless of age, era or  perspective , they tend to study other things or other people’s creations. Whether it is a cave painting, a nation’s technological advancement, or a composer’s musical composition, there will be emotions in it. These emotions may be respect, ambition or jealousy . But they will always be there. Living beings are also creators . The existence of a human being brings creation and destruction. We make things and

Each author has a unique style and taste to create a storytelling the way they like to see.  Depending on the genre of the stories, the cultural and personal approach to life of the writers, the way things happen in their minds… They all gather and become one as the parts of the storytelling. Personally, when I write my stories,  I like to start with the core, the skeleton. I try not to give too many details, but focus on the basis of the story. Less emphasis on the appearanc

The day before yesterday I read a debate on the internet about the process of writing a novel. Someone asked if it was possible to write a novel of over 90000 words in a month . Some of the answers were that it was easy, but I could say that most of them were negative. And yesterday, while I was outside in a cafe, I overheard a group of friends discussing the same topic in a different way. One of them said to the others: “Did you know that this guy (the name of a famous autho

The last few days I have been thinking about the structure of a language that makes them understandable. I have always wanted to create my own language, but of course it is not that easy. But I will talk about that another time. Today I want to focus on something else. If you think about it, there are different kinds of languages that serve different purposes in the world. Some are poetic , some are melodic , some are practical and some are useful . In my case, a useful one m

Collaborative and collective writing . Although these methods are different, they both reflect the spirit of shared storytelling. Imagine a page where authors fill their stories together , or a collection where individual stories harmonise within a single book. In this article, I would like to talk about the nature of collaborative and collective writing by briefly pointing out their positive and negative outcomes.

Poetry unites individuals, societies and ages through a dialect that transcends ethnicity, dialogue and eras. It embodies a philosophy beyond terminology, wherein emotions, enthusiasms and events are transformed into the ink that populates the soul’s pages. In this sphere, multilingual poetry (as in multifaceted and translated into other languages, as well as having different words/verse from different languages in one poem) is an enchanting orchestra. My desire to write abo

It has been four and a half months since I started writing my articles. For the first two months I wrote them every day . Then I changed my pace to one article every two days . Today I am writing my 100th article. It has been quite a journey and I want to keep writing as much as I can. I enjoy it and I can see the difference in me. In my articles I have tried to talk about some specific categories like writing, literature, language, culture, self-improvement, psychology, phi

The digital world is all around us. But some of us like to keep in touch with the offline world in different ways. Reading books, writing stories, going for walks, meeting friends, etc. And I am going to talk about another way to focus on this perspective that brings many benefits to your world. Creating a “ bullet journal ” or simply a “ BuJo ”. Just like writing in a diary, a bullet journal provides an insightful approach to your life. As well as writing in my diary, I hav

The origins of science fiction as a genre can be traced back to the imaginative stories of early writers who dared to envision worlds beyond our own. Since imagination is at the core of humanity , potential dreamlike scenarios have always existed within people. Still, the lack of them makes me think that they just didn’t want to be seen as “ lunatic ”. Because they could be seen as nonsense at a time when logical discussion and scientific approaches were at their height. Ho

Writing is a versatile art that allows us to create stories of imagination as well as factual narratives. Two prominent forms of writing that engage the creative and analytical sides of our minds are fiction and articles . I’d like to focus on the differences and similarities in several categories in order to understand them clearly. Photo by Alice Yamamura on Unsplash The Art of Storytelling Writing fiction is undoubtedly the realm of creativity . Fiction writers conjure up

of Plato, with the quotes of an immortal leader. Today we are going to talk about an significant subject for a great reason. It is one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy and political theory —  Plato ’s “ Republic” . And it is a masterpiece by another great man in the pages of history. At its core, Plato ’s Republic consists of a few main elements, such as the nature of justice, the ideal state , and the role of the individual in a just society. The c

This article contains high amount of caffeine. Originating in Ethiopia, and surrounds the entire world, coffee has been part of our lives for almost 600 years . This magical liquid has a long history. From Africa to the Middle East, then Ottomans had a great influence on coffee. They had coffee houses where people gathered to have a good time. Over time, it spread across the continents through the influence of traders. Particularly in London, they took it up with advertising

If you think about it, you will realise how many other works of art throughout history have used this very technique to tell a story. Whether it is myths, religious teachings, traditional sayings or stories from around the world , it is possible to encounter dualism . No matter what culture you come from, dualism is always an effective way of explaining things in a clearer way. I think the main reason for this is to make a comparison between two aspects . As we have said, whe

After I have written another chapter in my novel, I go back and edit and update some of the sentences according to the progress of the story. I like to reread them and work on them, even though it can be tiring to do it after each chapter. I narrated them in my own style, depending on the length of the chapters. So even though I sometimes feel unsure about them, in the end I realise that they are how I want them to be. They don’t have to be perfect, they have to be me. This m

Throughout history, the written word has been both a powerful source of knowledge and a formidable catalyst for change. It is no surprise, then, that many governments, institutions and individuals have attempted to control or censor literature that challenges the status quo or explores sensitive issues. Banned novels in particular have been scrutinised and suppressed because of their potential to provoke controversy , inspire rebellion or expose uncomfortable truths . In thi

Every community in the world has its own problems, no matter when. Whether they are local or national, these problems can affect lives for years, even decades . Therefore, people’s minds revolve around these specific problems. Whether it is poverty, discrimination, abundance, pessimism or government issues , there have been and there will be hot topics in our lives. Sometimes we are born into them, sometimes they are created during our lifetime. However, each of these person

Because of the mass communication tools and features we have in the current era of our world, it is much easier to learn about things globally. Whether they are completely true or not. Having thoughts about things is easier than we thought it would be nowadays. And I’m sure you’ve noticed that almost no one says “ I don’t know much about it ” anymore. Everyone has some kind of information or idea about some things. It makes some people delusional , thinking they know better o

In the recent days, I was tidying up the shelves in my room and came across my notebooks from childhood. It was delightful to revisit my early experiences of writing fictional characters and stories. Fortunately, I had engaged in writing short stories at various points in my life until now, and observing the differences and improvements inspired me to write an article about it. Even though some of these were look alikes or copies of known stories and novels that I read back

As time passes and things become more abundant, their quality naturally degrades. This argument can be applied to almost everything. Consequently, fake or less important works are produced every single day, as I’ve discussed before in my recent article. This happens because we no longer appreciate the struggle and effort behind a work . “ Others ” take shortcuts to create things, and this diminishes the value of your hard work, which took a long time to complete. As a result,
