                                      To become a famous writer

To become a famous writer, one needs to make a name for oneself in some way, whether it is poetry, prose, or drama. No matter how much one writes sermons and sermon articles in magazines, it is very difficult for a writer to become famous. Because sermons and sermon articles can be written by anyone. These are not all literature. Only novels, poems, and dramas are scholarly. As for sermons, anyone can write them if they are literate. But good novels, poems, and dramas cannot be written by anyone. They can only be written by someone with innate intelligence and a system. Therefore, it is difficult to find even one or two short stories that are useful for every hundred stories that reach the shelves of newspapers and magazines.

As for sermons and sermon articles, even if they lack even a single praiseworthy element, they are not bad, so about ninety out of a hundred of them are acceptable. Even if they are acceptable, they do not add much value to a magazine or journal, only adding pages.

A true novelist and a true painter are both intellectuals. A moralist is like a schoolteacher.

Teachers get their jobs by teaching. Artists get their jobs by using their brushes. Novelists get their jobs by using their pens.

Poetry is also difficult because it requires a system and its own imagination, and it is possible to be educated, but this is not the era of poetry.

Another job of a writer is to write a kind of journal article, and a journal is also a great and difficult skill related to imagination. A sermon is not related to a magazine, a journal, or a newspaper. In Europe and America, the Times magazine and newspapers rarely have more than a handful of sermons. One-sided prosperity magazines like Psychology Magazine also have prosperity articles, and those articles are very new and innovative. They are not sermons or Bibles. Therefore, a real writer can only write good novels. Nowadays, a writer cannot be a writer with poetry. Only Mr. Maung Hmoy has gained fame and fame. He is unique. It is not easy to become unique like that.

A journal is not a novel, a poem, a sermon, but a good readable text. That type of writing is not easy. Usually, it is possible only with the insight of good novelists and real poets. Because it can be written on any subject. It can be read well, and it can be light and fast, like a cork floating on water. It cannot be written in small letters like gold, silver, diamonds, and stones. It will not be enjoyable to read. For example, you need to be able to read and write well about a pen. You need to be able to read and write about a kitchen without getting bored. Writing well about an oil lamp is much more difficult than writing a biography of Alaungsithu. Alaungsithu's biography is a history. There is no basic literature to rely on when writing about an oil lamp. You have to write with imagination. But in the minds of those who do not know, they will say that it is trivial. They do not think that writing is good unless they can read and write about trivial things well.

A person called Surinder Nath Banerjee can talk for an hour or two about nothing. Not every literate person can write and speak. Therefore, to be a famous writer, one needs to be able to write well about what is right and wrong.

Some of the large articles in the 6-page Myanmar magazine would not be used by any English magazine or newspaper if they were translated into English. No Myanmar newspaper or magazine would be able to use the articles in the English magazine or newspaper if they were translated into Myanmar. This is because the English write small things with their own opinions, while the large Myanmar magazine articles do not have their own opinions and cannot use the Bible.

In writing, one should not write with the intention of showing off one's knowledge. It is good to write when there is something to write about. One should not write simply because one wants to write or simply because one wants to show off one's ability.

Only by writing with the intention of making the reader happy, enlightened, and beneficial can one become famous.
