WRITING AS A CAREER By CHARLES TURNER Ever since man has become articulate and wished to communicate his thoughts and ideas to others of his kind, he has wished to put these same thoughts down in some permanent form. Even before the advent of paper and ink, man tried to express his opinions through writing. l'Vherever the archeologists excavate the history of ancient man, they find that he has recorded his life and the lives of all those around him by writing on walls, stones, orna- ments, and even on weapons. Since the coming of the printing press, writing has greatly increased. Since that time, more and more people have found a profit- able livelihood in writing. Now, more than ever before in the annals of history, writers are neededg and we are the ones who must heed the call that is being raised all over the world. I say that we must answer this call, for we are the citizens of tomorrowg we are the ones who will govern this vast country of ours. But first it is essential that we know just what writing entails. Mlriting, as we all know, is hard workg but it is also very rewarding. Through the medium of writing we come into contact with a group of intelligent men and women who have the same principles and interests that we have. This same group inspires us to greater work, for we try to imitate their success. Consider this aspect of writing. Wlhat could be more thrilling than to have a script that you have written, heard or read by millions of people, and to know that they obtained some joy and good from doing so? lfVhat could please you more than to know that your words have transported a desk-hound city- dweller to some faraway place on the magic carpet of your story? Yet nothing really stirs you as much as a simple story of good men and women which will make many persons forget their sinfulness, and try to lead better lives through the grace of God. If you think, now, that you should consider writing as your career, begin to decide on which branch of writing you would like to pursue. There are many varied branches on Page Thirly-two the tree of writing. Among these are play writ- ing, novels, short stories, essays, poetry, maga- zine and newspaper work, and advertising. To consider just one of these many fields, let us turn to newspaper -work, or journalism as it is so aptly called. For journalism comes from the French jour which means day, and newspapers are printed every day. The average writer does not consider journalism a bed of roses. A great many people write quickly and spontaneously, but this is no criterion of good writing. A large part of the modern journalists find it difficult to compose good works. A journalist must also have an infinite amount of patienceg he must be unbiased and have a good knowledge 45129 f'E,QZJ,4C?.D 6339.455 6'w5Q9,1Sr'b SARIIL6 This essay was awarded first place in the Roundup-sponsored English Writing Contest. 339,425 613394539 65129,-ef-3 533945-3 CFL of what he is writing about: and most of all, he must be willing to report minor happen- ings at any time of the day or night for, as the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day. To you Whose fingers itch for a pencil or typewriter, remember that there is a pros- perous career in the field of writing waiting for someone with the ability and intestinal fortitude to make a go of it. Don't put off until tomorrow what can be done todayg begin to prepare yourself for a career in writingg the future awaits your decision. W x 1 - C , tiaaxiff X fi fr' '- ' I sr , X Q.
