Everyone writes all the time, even if its something as simple or as short as an email or a text. For more information, you can visit the NCTE website. You can also post about this day on social…

On Why I Write(s)

A lot of time of being a young writer goes in understanding the craft or the process of writing. The fun is there is no uniform rule to follow by the end of which we would automatically become great writers. “Greatness” is a myth now unlike the 19th century fascination for the great classics and creating a prescriptive literary canon. Not that the education system has gotten rid of it completely…

Unleashing the Soul: What I Love Most About Writing

What do you enjoy most about writing? Introduction Writing is more than just putting words on a page; it’s an intimate dance between thought and expression, where each sentence carries a piece of the writer’s soul. For me, the greatest joy in writing comes from the profound sense of freedom it offers—a freedom to explore, to create, and to connect with the world in ways that are deeply personal…

Impetus

Impetus - A poem #amwriting #WritingCommunity #poem #poetry #writerslife #WhyIWrite #poetrycommunity #writercommunity #Impetus

Hi everyone, I’m sharing another poem with you today. The inspiration for this one came from the question, ‘why do you write?’ to which my mind threw up a multitude of answers – the most prominent being that I write for clarity. I write to understand and to be understood, and it also helps to order my thoughts. Anyway, here’s the poem, I hope you enjoy it! Impetus I bring myself to the literary…

Published: Author interview at SpillWords Press

I’m very excited to share my interview as an author, published on SpillWords Press. I’ve been meaning to share it here since the 16th of March, the day it was published, but I’ve been extraordinarily busy thanks to my publisher and things completely beyond my control. Here’s an excerpt of the interview. What does it mean to be selected as Author of The Month? It’s a huge honour to be selected…

Chatters that Matter, Celebrating Black History Month with Pioneer and Fantasy Author Gloria Sanders-Williams AKA Fire4Desire from THE EMBC TV NETWORK on Vimeo.

Las Vegas, NV Gloria Sanders-Williams, aka Desire4Fire, grew up in the San Francisco/Bay Area, where at a young age, her exposure to a creative cultural mix inspired her imagination and writing. She began her writing career at sixteen with works that included short stories and poetry. She has recently branched out to evolve her work into a current love of performance poetry at venues throughout the Las Vegas area where she resides. Gloria’s writing focuses on the inclusion of people of color in the fantasy genre. She believes these characters are sadly underrepresented in the genre she loves to read. The Kyandra Saga is a five-book fantasy series with more books to follow. Does the World Need Another Hero is a short book that takes a hero’s journey, and The Blood Bond Series, A Black Vampires, is a mature erotica series. All are fiction writings based on works that have unfolded after over a decade of persistence and dreams. Look for more works in progress by this author soon in fantasy. #WhyIWriteBlack “It has become the fruit of my desire to share as a writer works that intrigue through the world of imagination; I hope that I have succeeded - this is #WhyIWrite.” And why I #BleedInk. *Desire4Fire fantasy-author.com amazon.com/author/desire4fire twitter@702_desire4fire desire4fire23@gmail.com

I write because I want to leave the last few traces of my existence, so someone could hold onto it when my memories wisp away. These souls who stumble over the odds of life- I want them to know that it is okay to be vulnerable, to breakdown, and, to love.

Writing brings me the ability to describe magic in near blurry words, to describe something so profound and miraculous. And just like that, something that seems extremely out of reach will someday sit softly on your palms. And you'd gaze at it wondering how'd it happen.

I write because I want at least one person to believe in the magic that I talk about. I want them to know that- you can only learn to get away if you learn to get through. And life, is not about filling every page with adventure and sharp memories. Some pages are meant to be blank, they’re simply about unwinding, being with yourself and nowhere else.

I write so it could help someone untangle the mess, and I write for it helps me to untangle the knots I’ve tied all across my soul.

Sometimes I wonder why I have so much self hate in my 30s, then my mom says stuff like "don't let your daughter ONLY like boy stuff or the boys won't ever date her because she's just 'one of the gang'" and my 'tomboy' ass remembers.

To be clear, though, fuck that. My daughter is whoever the hell she wants to be. Right now that's a werewolf who loves dinosaurs and the beach, so she's just going to keep on doing her own thing.
