I began writing poetry of my own at that time and it was a wonderful, private kind of therapy.These days I am more drawn to a happier type of poetry, but back then the darker, deep calls to deep , poetry helped and thank goodness it was there when I needed it.

Once I start to read I can't stop until not only have I finished the book but the entire series. I see my family and everyone sitting around watching TV and they say they wish they could read as I. But I don't get it, they have the power to read just as much as I do. If only they'd turn off that TV and open a book. Hell, if they don't have a book I have over 300 in my room and theres a library in town. Maybe I'm just different than them... considering they are not my real family, that could be it. Reading was all I had a few years back and it was the only thing holding me together... keeping me a person and not a hollow shell. I didn't know how to read until I was in the 6th grade (i started learning in 4th but in 6th i could read on my own) maybe thats the reason I love reading because I know what life is like without books without being able to read. I love writing too. I'm not the best writer in the world but i do write, mostly poems and i just started writing a book. Writing for me is how i let out my feelings and also a way to look back over other things i've written and say see i've been though worse I can make it through this.. I loved your Rant.

Anyways, it's true. I love reading. I like getting in another person's life, reading about them finding out about this person. Like amking a new friend. I see so many kids at my school abandon books and turn to TV, making the mistake thinking that actors and rappers don't read. Awesome rant! I'm young. Really young. Anyways, it's true.

Hardly a reason to post however; in the first sentence I think you meant 'What is it about the written word...' rather than 'What is it about the spoken word...' I could be wrong though. Great rant.

I write myself and I hope to learn to be as skillful as you are. I have asked myself and others many times why the written word holds so much power. On the first day of one of my literature classes in college, a professor asked the class what literature is and why some works are classics and last throughout history. I responded by saying that it's just like any other type of classic work of art, except using words as a medium. Although that was a simple answer, this rant of yours explains both points so eloquently. Thanks for all the good writing! P.s. I'd like to request more warlock stories, I love the game of human chess! I just want to say that I love you're insight, and you're writing is amazing.
