I am filled with joy to share my thoughts, a feeling that has been inspired by Proust’s profound work “In A Search Of A Lost Time.”
I want to share my thoughts with contemporaries and future generations by writing. The more I write, the more I realize I want to share my thoughts, desires, hopes, fears, and states of depression and euphoria. I felt the unspoken desire to do it for a long time. Whenever I took a book in my hand, I wondered how other people write and their ways of transforming thoughts into written words. To this day, I do not know how they do it. Still, I can share my insights on how I do it. While thinking about all these things, I realize the clue is to write what you think literally.
Easy? Yes and no.
Yes, because I cannot make up a more straightforward rule. No, because the beginning won’t be easy for you, my Dear Friend. I hope I am wrong, but I genuinely want to encourage you to try.
I will not compare myself to Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s, Marcel Proust’s, or Stanislaw Lem’s literary legacy. These geniuses devoted their lives to sharing their thoughts with others by writing down their thoughts. Still, even if I don’t get to their top level of writing, I should try to do it. For me, the writers mentioned above were masters in sharing their insights on a paper. Undoubtedly, they’ve been reading many books throughout their lifetimes.
I read five books about Dostoyevsky and know he read from the early ages of his life.
The same goes for the Polish science-fiction writer. I do not know the details of Proust’s childhood, but based on what he wrote in “In Search Of Lost Time,” he must have read hundreds of books yearly. For today (I wrote this text on the 27th of August, 2023), what I know is that I want to share my thoughts with other people on the highest possible level of quality, clarity, and precision of writing.
