So I recently learned this new thing about being a writer.
You’re literally creating assets as a writer. A blog post is like an asset that you’re creating. That’s the fun of it.
An Asset Is An Advantage
So literally a piece of text is like an asset if you think about it. It can solve a problem, it can be like a map around a problem that someone is facing.
For example if you write a blog post on how to change the tires of a car, you’re creating a helpful asset for someone to consume and improve their lives with it.
It’s important to go meta sometimes like this and think about the thing you’re doing. They say going meta is a superpower, and I tend to agree.
What a cool thing to think about.
Creating Assets
So an asset literally means a thing of value. Money is one tool which represents value so having many assets is similar to having many money, which is great if we’re talking of personal finance.
Lately I’ve been thinking of this thing of business design since I am somewhat of a designer these days as I’ve been getting into web design and graphic design and I think it’s a really cool thing to design a business.
Each blog post is also like a mini-business in itself – it can help solve a problem that someone is facing, making it a on-demand service.
I know when producing electronic music, I read blogs to figure out the drum patterns to use for example.
Digital Assets For The Win
So a piece of great writing can be a wonderful asset that’s very beneficial for the reader, I think you’re getting what I am trying to say here.
So my laptop is literally like an asset generating machine that I can use to help people and the keyboard is like a tool for value generation.
An e-book is an obvious asset since it has a price tag on it so it’s value is determined on the market, too.
Study The Game
I’ve been doing some reading lately and also wrote some on my personal journal but it’s so funny that writing is an asset because I actually used to write as a young man for free, like in my teens I used to chat with my guildmates and I would often write these walls of text that maybe someone read or not, haha.
So this idea is making me really excited that the keyboard can be used with hands to create valuable things. Feels like I am building something like Taj Mahal, to be honest.
Taj Mahal, But Written
So how could one go about creating a text Taj Mahal? Like a wonder of the world that takes incredible artistry.
I know I’ve read some life-changing books that are deeply beautiful. So you can make the lives of others more enjoyable through writing, that’s the inherent value of it.
Whatever problem there is, the answer to it can probably be written down. Such as happiness, bliss and even ecstasy can be in written forms.
Ecstatic Writing
I know that’s what poetry is all about, is ecstasy in written form. Some of the best poems in the world are so beautiful that they can bring people to tears.
You can write movie scripts and just about anything. I’ve always had the habit of being a writer so that’s a really cool thing to ponder now.
It’s highly applicable to be a writer. If you’re also a book lover, this should make sense. Books can be very enjoyable and they can teach you a lot about life.
Like the ancient Vedic scriptures for example, that can teach us about the nature of the universe.
You Don’t Need Money
You don’t need money to write good text either. You can produce something incredible if you’re just got a laptop. Okay, so I lied a little bit, you need money to buy a laptop but assuming that you’re reading this, you probably have a laptop or can afford one at some point, even a cheap one can work if you’re just a writer.
Reminds me of people who have earned quite a bit of money and all they talk about is that their creativity could be better and money doesn’t excite them that much at all and actually artistry is where it’s at.
All you need is focused effort expended towards your vision. For example my vision is like creating a really life-changing project that makes people’s life a lot better and changes the world somehow and it’s like a contribution that I am making to humanity.
Just like The Taj Mahal, hehe.
Valued At What?
So hmm. This knowledge can be really helpful if you apply it in a massive way. Writing a thousand words each day is one of those things that might be helpful although if creativity makes you excited then you might want to write even more.
One of the best applications it to get writing and write a lot if this seems cool to you.
Like if creating cool assets through writing since it’s really a simple thing. Pretty funny to think about it in terms that writing is also just language, nothing else.
So if you think about it, using language well can lead to riches and fortune.
Like if writing is a craft where if you’re good at it you can get paid, then if you think about it, using language proficiently is like a top priority for a writer.
So the better your vocabulary is, the better your earnings, you could think of it like this.
A Writing Marathon
I’ve also talked about this idea earlier of doing like a Guinness World Record in writing. How many words could you dish out if you really started?
Hmm. Who knows?
