Everyone can write. It is the easiest thing to do on earth after breathing and masturbating. Writing is not always in the term of pouring our ideas on a sheet of paper with a pen, or click-click sound from our keyboard. It is broader than that. When we do something that becomes our memorable moment, that’s also writing.

You don’t have to be a writer to write something. But, to cure people you have to become a doctor, to drive a plane you have to become a pilot, to be able to shake hands with Putin you have to become a delegation, etc. Different case with writing. It doesn’t need any particular skills that force you to spend hundreds even thousands of your money buying courses or taking education. All you need for writing is just your fucking honesty.

However, indeed everyone can write. But, what is your writing purpose? Is it only to share your emotions because the world seems injustice? Is it your academic requirement? Is it just to keep in touch with your crush? Or what? Here are the differences.

In my opinion, the difference between a genius writer, a good writer, and a common writer lies in the way they deliver and pour ideas. You may have a perfect argument about LGBTQ+, or arguments that prove the existence of GOD. Your IQ is even equal to Thomas Bohr and Albert Einstein, and you want to tell, let's say project Y to your lecturer. But, it is all in vain when you can’t deliver in a simple way and don't make your audiences understand your thoughts.

A common writer just writes whatever he or she wants. It is like a common conversation or taking others' ideas from different platforms, etc. A good writer is one who can deliver ideas into a copy or article. For instance, all academics on their thesis. It’s all good ideas, but mostly we don’t fucking understand what they mean. On the other hand, a genius writer is those who can turn complicated ideas into simple ones in their copy. They can embrace, influence, and make their readers understand their point. In my art philosophy class, we call it catharsis (when you cry while watching your K-Drama). You know it is just a film made up of humans, but still, you cry.

We often feel struggling to write in a simple way because our thoughts always demand more. It seems cooler if I use philosophical words, unique words, and uncommon terms. Nah, I don’t think so. Your great ideas will fall apart if your readers can’t understand your point. That’s why we often get writer's block. It is because we can’t deliver our ideas in a simple way, then it becomes complicated whereas it isn’t.

Therefore, everyone indeed can write. We are all can write. Writing is very simple, but doing simple writing is the hardest thing to do.

That’s all, thanks for coming. I have to get to work and serve capitalism. Selamat siang, and have a good day folks…
