Day 4: Writing

I've been trying to figure out the difference between writing and writing.  One might think that they are both the same thing, but they are not.  There are two types of writing which are trying to be and actually being.  What exactly is this?

Trying to be is the type of writing which I try to avoid.  This usually is when I am really trying to write and knowingly forcing intelligence.  This isn't something that is well liked in writing because usually it means that it is fake.  Like many others, myself included, have been guilty of going to thesaurus.com and changing words to sound intelligent.  Since the words are computer generated my writing turns into something that computer has written instead of being something that I have written.  Forcing intelligence can also sorta have a show-off feel to it.  Nobody wants to listen to a show-off, so why would I wish to read something like that?  I wouldn't.

Actually being writing takes time to achieve and has the intelligence that comes through naturally and with fluidity.  In art, I've found it imperative to be able to write.  Writing is involved in art whether it be writing novels or writing a quick summary of my work.  Actually being writing can be enjoyed and it is like a voice coming from beyond sometimes.  To truly know the meaning of actually being writing I must see it and actually write it.  Actually being writing is something that I wish to obtain over the year and keep consistent.
