#writing with passion

[azus-reyan]

Love was always the answer.

If you ask me why I write, I would say love. Not the cloudless lightning kind but the sort that can be found after rightly suffering for it.

The kind you mold with your hands or legs or teeth or anything that can grip. If nothing else, your heart must work hard to find the passion. 

This is how I’ve turned writing into a love-to-do habit.

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

How My Dear Follower Does It: #1

Meet Jojo—A Mother, A Writer, and Her "Why".

Asking someone why they do something is one of the best ways to understand them. The why is personal, deeply rooted, and often tied to passion.

Writers, though, rarely get asked this question—at least not until they’ve made it to a bestseller list. But asking yourself why you write? That’s essential. It’s the fire that keeps you going.

So yesterday, I asked Jojo—a fellow writer—what made her think, “This is it!” I expected something profound, but what I got was even better: the cherry on top of the cake.

No matter the form—dancing, acting, drawing, cooking,or writing—Jojo’s reason remains the same: ✦ She wants to express life in all its raw, messy, and beautiful emotions.

And that? That’s the heart of every great writer.

Writing Through a Mother’s Eyes.

What makes Jojo stand out, though, isn’t just her love for writing. It’s how she writes through the eyes of a mother.

Why does that matter? Because not everyone has a mother’s perspective.

Many things make great writing: persuasiveness, structure, originality… But if there’s one thing that makes it valuable, it’s relatability.

And who understands human emotions and experiences better than a mother raising two adorable babies?

Jojo is lucky—not only because she’s a writer or a mother, but because she gets to be both at the same time.

She also writes for fun!

There’s a difference between writing because it’s a job—painstakingly carving the “perfect” story—and writing simply because you want to.

Jojo doesn’t have to write. She doesn’t have to sit in front of a laptop, staring at a blinking cursor, willing inspiration to appear. She writes because she chooses to.

No deadlines. No editors breathing down her neck. No pressure from eager fans.

Just writing—for herself first. And if the world wants a peek? Well, that’s just a bonus.

A Writer at Heart.

How do you know something is real?

Relationships, faith, love—they’re all defined by one thing: commitment. Coming back to something, time and again, is what makes it genuine.

Jojo has been to many places. She dabbled in digital marketing, worked as a freelancer, and pursued a bachelor’s degree in business. All while raising two children—and only she knows the struggles that came with it.

Yet, writing remained a part of her through everything, as natural as the eyes on her face and the hands on her arms.

So what's Jojo up to, now?

Between caring for her little ones and managing a home, Jojo continues her education, with dreams of stepping into the business world. But for now, she’s here on Tumblr, sharing her creativity with the world.

And creativity is something she has in abundance.

Right now, she’s writing a thrilling story about a young woman who chooses the pirate’s life in a bid for freedom.

Here’s a glimpse into Jojo’s world, straight from her pirate adventure:

“The story began when I met my stepsister, Aurora. My mother passed away and my father had a lady waiting, with my soon-to-be stepsister in tow. But I tell you now that I'm no Cinderella.”

Everyone has a story worth telling. If you’d like to share yours, feel free to reach out to me at @azus-reyan or submit your story here. I’d love to hear it!
