writing philosophy

“Your heart tells your brain what to think and your brain tells your hand what to write.” This is my writing philosophy. Your brain may control all the functions in your body, but it’s your heart that really does all the decision-making. Your heart is the part of your body that tells you what to think and what to feel. Both of those qualities are needed to write. You need to feel something about what you’re writing. You need to have a passion and an interest for it. To me, thinking and writing without a heart is like trying to breathe with no air. You can’t write without a heart.
