An author's pen is his paint brush. Through his pen an author can draw sceneries of different situation.

An author's pen is also his mighty sword. Through his pen an author can strike his opponent's heart until he wins a war. With his pen he can defend himself from the inhumane treatment he suffers from those who misuse their powers. Through his pen he can fight for his people and defend them from oppression and injustice. Using his pen he can fight the dragon that monstrously destroys his motherland.

An author's pen is his heart. With his pen he could inform everyone what is in his mind and in his heart. He could express himself to everyone, whether he is happy or sad, angry or afraid, hungry or full, loved or unloved. Through his pen he communicates to his people what is giving him heartache or joy.
