Guest Post: Celtic Traveler on 'The X Factor'

Tuesday, January 3


designsponge.com
 
When I say that I'm a fan of books and movies, what I really mean to say is that I'm a fan of stories.
I love stories. The whole world seems to be made up of them, they seem to be in the very air we breathe.
But why do only some stories achieve fame and others not?
I thinks it's because of The X Factor.

The X Factor is where the author/screenwriter actually cares about their story. Too many writers today are just in it for the money, which I find terrible. You should love what you write. You should enjoy it, and be interested in your own story. If you don't care, nor will your audience. Writers nowadays just seem to focus on what's "cool" at the moment. Like supernatural romances and dystopian society novels.

J.R.R. Tolkien, in his essay On Fairy-Stories, spoke on how writing should involve what you desire. We all desire to be heroes, and that's why we write about them. We desire to witness magic, ride dragons, be brave in battles, and find friendship. The X Factor means taking a piece of your soul and putting it in your story. Like Red Smith once said: "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."

Learning how stories work and how to write them are extremely important as well. But the key element is your soul; it's the spice of the story.

If you love what your doing, chances are your audience will, too.

Well said indeed! Thank you Traveler!

Great post! And Tolkien is the perfect example. His books would not have become masterpieces if he hadn't taken Middle Earth seriously.

Apart from various amazing features, Brother Printer is also surrounded by numerous errors just like any other electronic device. And you do get infuriated whenever you need to print an urgent document and your printer doesn’t respond well. One such common error is dirty or clogged print head. A dirty print head in your Brother Printer can affect the connection between your printer and print cartridge and thus lead to not printing any

document. You need to clean print head as soon as you want to make connection between your printer and cartridge. For this, if you need additional assistance then you can take Brother Support at anytime from anywhere. However, with the help of control panel of HP solution center, you can clean print heads automatically.
