I can't say I've been writing since I was a child, but I can say I've always had a flying mind. Ever since I remember, I've allowed my mind to become disconnected from my body and take me to strange places. The fantasy world that I discover stays with me after each mind-flying session, and it oddly becomes real in my head, to the point that sometimes I have to stop and wonder if it is a dream or reality.
But never before did I consider writing about these virtual worlds, until there came a turning point in my life.
It was before I understood the natural rhythm of the Universe, when I was creating a chaotic life for myself. One of the many wrong turns that I took led me to be disconnected from the rest of the world. It was the most depressing time I've put myself in, and the only support that I had was what I consider one of the greatest inventions of human kind, the written word.
I literally buried myself in books and I read any print material that came within my reach including the bible, novels, manuals, and the occasional self-motivation book. I read most of the day and night until my mind felt hot and loud inside. My head was overflowing with words to the point of confusion. When I wasn't reading, my mind was spinning and flying higher than ever. When I managed to get some sleep, my mind didn't stop spinning and I had the most out-of-this-world dreams of my life. My brain was exhausted and I was living in a semi-real world. I felt in a different dimension than everybody else, but I continued reading nonstop.
In a momentary state of sanity, I discovered a way to quiet my mind. I started to release the words that empowered my mind in the form of letters, stories and poems. What I created seemed at first a wild combination of the words in my head. At that point, I doubt anyone but myself would make sense of my writing, but I gradually crafted my texts to make them somewhat coherent.
What I ultimately discovered about myself was that I felt worthy when I wrote, and I'd found a purpose. I decided to become a writer.
I lacked the skill to produce quality writing, but I made the determination to become educated and soon I enrolled in a creative writing class. Even though I have a long way to go, I'm enjoying the challenge.
I want my content to express a message to my readers, and I like to include topics associated with spirituality, self-motivation, positivism, peace, environment, lifestyles, fantasy, and for the purpose of this blog, I want to share a general understanding of my own experiences.
Our world is a wonderful place.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
Sincerely,
Nick Tautimer
