Did you know that plays are not written, but rather wrought? Think about it. You don’t call Shakespeare a playwrite. You call him a playwright. When you think of a play being wrought, being formed, doesn’t that change your whole outlook on writing and literature? It does mine. Something that is wrought is worked on, like wrought iron. It is something substantial, not fleeting or imagined. You can practically hold the words in your hands as you work your writing. And I’m not talking about the sheets of paper on which it’s printed. Being wrought implies something so much more permanent than that. Interesting, no?
