Communication and Persuasion in Creative Writing

Sometimes I wonder if I'm secretly a masochist. Why? Because I want to become a novelist like J.K Rowling. Always have, always will. Even when people in High School wanted me to write them a Twilight Novel because that's what they thought all writers do.

So when this assignment came up I thought "hey why don't I show all those people just what writers do".

Ever seen a movie or a TV show? Ever played a video game? Or read a book?

Y'know who comes up with all those: Writers.

Writers helped create many forms of entertainment. They set up the base for many things that could eventually become a franchise or theme parks, etc. They use the tools that rhetoric provides to create something out of nothing that can grow into something truly amazing. Disney and Dreamworks have writers that have convinced kids that there are princesses and dragons.

And with each piece, writers can sneak in a deep message.

Dreamworks came out with a film called "Rise of the Guardians" back in 2012 or something like that. It was a flop in regards to profits but the message it carried out thanks to it's writers, that you do have a purpose in this world, that many people got together to create something for the studio as a thank you for creating that message and helping all of them out of some dark places.

It's thanks to writers in the creative field of English using the tools that were given to us by the Greeks and Romans that people can find their way out of dark places and learn simple truths hidden in the pages of a book, scenes in media, or a mission in a game. That's what a writer is all about: revealing truths while entertaining the masses.

And that is what I hope to achieve someday.
