Commitment and Constancy the fifth commandment of the writer
Source
Something very important in the life of any human being is to assume the commitments of what he executes or plans, it is like a tacit agreement between the person and the effort that he puts in fulfilling his goals.
Without it there is no stimulus to give the best in an attempt to achieve correctly what is planned.
In the literary field this goes beyond a simple promise because the goals have no end as the adventurer will always undertake new journeys to the mysterious worlds of his imagination.
In such a way that the pact he makes with the letters is infinite, eternal and ends with life, which is why whoever wishes to enter them must be clear about this and that he has in his genesis the desire to do things as they should be done in order to obtain satisfactory results.
The first thing you must fulfill are all the main commandments that come with entering a mixture of reality with fiction that is the paranormal state of the one who feeds and nurtures his reader with stories, poems or other genre he dares to explore.
It must also be clear that their creations will become those of others who identify with them, an empathy in which readers immerse themselves making them sentimentally part of their lives, without this meaning that the intellectual property of the author of the creations will be lost.
Constancy is linked to commitment in an infallible way and it is what will make the author's growth perseverant, that ideas diversify and equally that the willingness to adventure does not falter.
It is the writer's fuel, the one that will make him travel small and big steps, the one that will make him gain space and will serve as a shield against obstacles and also against the vicissitudes that malicious criticism offers.
No path is easy or simple, and whoever believes that it is, since it is done in intimacy or out of the reach of multitudes or companions who may hinder what has been done, is mistaken, since human nature is unstable, selfish, egocentric and indefinable.
This is the reason why labels, paradigms, demonizations and an endless number of epithets are created for those who carry out intimate actions where their social interaction is sometimes limited.
In such a way that whoever begins the path of taking his particular vision of the world that surrounds him or that invents helped by imagination to others, through letters, enters a field mined by the stigmas created through the centuries in which the writer has been catalogued in different ways and with qualities at times good or bad, which makes him definitely different.
To be able to ignore prejudices he must be endowed with commitment and constancy, since these will be a weapon, a shield and a magic wand that will open the roads where the eagerness to give free rein to fiction or to the ontological vision of what surrounds him and he will be able to overcome the rejections that can be made to his works or texts, seeking improvement and overcoming.
The different has always been rejected and in fact writers like Stephen King, J.K.Rowling, Vladimir Nobokov, George Orwell, Rudyard Kipling, Marcel Proust, William Golding, Isaac Asimov, James Joyce and others were at some point in their careers rejected as well as some of their works, but they were endowed with commitment and perseverance and ended up triumphing over the restrictions or bad criticisms of some.
Without these two conditions it will be ineffective and banal the incursion of any person in the adventure of writing.
