You know why? Every word that you utter should be sensible. You have to think like a writer and act like a writer. Think even speak as a writer. Haist...

Well, unless you are trying to become a writer in a professional sense, I think looking at it in the sense of just putting your thoughts into words might be easier. :)

What does 'Haist' mean?

@MALUSE I don't think it's an official word, in English or another language. But I suppose it's similar to how a word like boing started. It's an imitation of the bouncing sound, right? Haist is like an imitation of the sound you make when you sigh, for example in frustration. :)

I think, that's an expression of a long sigh.

I disagree. From what I've read (Correct me if I'm wrong please~) it sounds like your saying be less like Yourself and become a writer. I think one can remain themselves and be the writer at times. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Unless you want to journey into being a specific type of writer, to fully understand that in which you want to become. Just don't forget You after the journey is over.

I'm not a writer, but I'm sure one day you will have a chance to get it all together.
