I decided to find five English proverbs that best describe the writing journey.

"The pen is mightier than the sword."
If you can write and tell a story, then you have a powerful weapon. This has been known throughout history. It is why the enemies of words try to ban or burn books, and why the writer is often seen as dangerous.
Become a writer and challenge the world.
"A picture is worth a thousand words."
Pictures do sell products.
It is probably why publishing companies and authors spend considerable time thinking about the cover image of a book.
Good writers paint a picture with their words. Is there a better feeling than finding a story that paints a picture in your mind when reading?
