The title "Open Window" is something that is, and has always been very dear to me. When speaking about my writing, more so, my poetry, a phrase that I've always said is, "my soul is an open book and my heart is written in the pages". I've felt that this saying was pretty self-explanatory, however I have been asked why I chose this particular choice of words to describe my writing. The short answer is, I've always felt that writing was a way to entering a person's mind, heart and soul. Reading an author's work, is a way of sorts of getting to know their most interpersonal thoughts and ideas. I feel as though this is even more so true for those writers who are poets. Ultimately, I believe that a reader reading any body of work, no matter the genre, the author of said work is allowing the reader to briefly enter their world, and their mind. This saying is ultimately how I came to get the title of my first published book as an adult, "Open Window: A Collection of Poems and Short stories". Though when naming the book, I used the word "window", instead of "book", because I look at my writing as an exchange of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Though I'm allowing the reader a peek into my soul through my writing, I believe that I am also allowing the reader to express their innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the works, whether it be amongst themselves, or through reaching out to others or even myself. I thought it would only be fitting to keep this title for my blog as I will be letting my readers in on some of my most intimate literary thoughts.
Naming the Blog
Updated: Oct 29, 2019
Love the name and I'm excited to have purchased the book! I identify with this entire blog because I am a writer myself. I like the poetic, artistic vibe of "Open Window." I chose to purchase it because it just sounds good and I think it fits the blog! I agree that, "My soul is an open book and my heart is written in the pages." Everything I do revolves around writing, and I take writing serious, even down to texting, because I write from my heart!
Open window is a great title. I love how I can read your passionate tone through your writing. Your writing is very relatable and attention grabbing. Writing is a great way to enter peoples' mind and inspire others to tell their stories. Keep doing what you love, while inspiring others to chase their dreams it will pay off someday.
I love that the title of your blog had such a deep and significant meaning to you. It shows a lot about you as an individual and as an author and I think that anyone reading this will understand that. The first thing that came into my mind when I read the title of your blog was the phrase "eyes are the window to the soul". Now obviously we can't see your eyes right now but I feel that writing is a perfectly good substitute. I believe that it has to take a lot of strength, confidence, and openness to be able to write anything, whether it be poems, short stories, or a full blown novel, and have it published…
The name of your blog is so interesting! I think the name “open window” suits your blog perfectly, because of where it originates and your artistic background. As a reader, I can tell that you have a deep passion for your art, and creating new types of work as an artist! I can clearly see that you have a very poetic way of writing/speaking, I bet your books are just as good! The way your business and blog came to be is such an interesting read! I think the two coincide very well, and give this blog a very real feel!
