When
we talk, we tell stories and present ideas--rarely with much anxiety; without
having to think of what to say.
Talk
is as easy as that and natural.
But
how many people realize that writing was
born out of man’s desire to imitate speech.
Sam
Adeyemi of Nigeria used to say “ God made the apple, but man made the apple
juice. In the same reasoning , I used to tell my wring class that God made
speech , but man made writing. Had man not fallen in the Garden of Eden,
may be there should have been to need to learn how to write
The
book of Genesis for instance was written by Moses , yet God is the author!
Man
was wired to speak. But he has to be really educated to write. Tell a child to narrate
and incident that he is a witness to , and viammm
he goes!. Ask the same child to write…
there the trouble begins. The reason for this is simple: God wired us to speak…. Naturally.
Good
enough , we can WRITE by mealy imitating speech. This is what I mean: any time
you have a chapter to write, simply SAY the chapter out on tape… then imitate what
you have said by simply coping it out! In that way , you have made your writing
easy.
How do you think people like Bishop Oyedepo
WROTE over 70 books? In many cases he
simple preached and an editor went to work!
Try the same : next time you talk or preach,
record what you said and copy it out on paper… and you would have seen
how close you are to writing the next chapter of your book.
If you can talk, you can WRITE!... trust me
