Writing about writing


Well, sometimes there is this uncertain yearning to do something and you don’t even know what. Exactly, that the feeling I have now. So I just decided to write it down. But the next question was...what am I going to write about?
Yes, this is what Blogger’s Block feels like! So, instead of hunting for topics online or trying to research stuff, I decided to spontaneously write about one of my favorite things…writing.
Mark Twain has said, “Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross off the wrong words.”  Well, I’ll say it is not that easy. Before crossing off the wrong words, you have got to make sure you have put up some really right words. And once written, then are immortal. Scratching, erasing or backspacing is not going to make it disappear.
In today’s world you have full freedom to be opinionated and when you have full access to social media and forums, where you can talk and express, you really have got be careful of what and how you are writing. It is easier when you write for yourself. But it actually becomes a little difficult when you are trying to make a point and explain it to others. Just like I’m trying to make one!
At some point of time in life, we all have loved writing. Writing letters, stories, poems, if not any of this…we have at least written journals and assignments. May have not been enjoyable, but it has been a very integrated part of our journey.
We can quote it beautifully saying, writing is the painting of the voice, photography of thoughts...but honestly it is a therapy, an exercise that is helping you channelize your thoughts. All you need is a pen and paper or a keyboard to burn it all out! Simple, complex and imperative sentences helping you build up a paragraph. Parts of speech providing you with words assigned in accordance with its syntactic functions (this is what Wiki says). Figure of speech for all the rhetorical effect.  Then there’s clauses and tenses, and phrases and what not!
Magical! Ain’t it? Whatever, whenever and about whatsoever….everybody should give a shot at writing. Because after about 300 impulsive words…I certainly feel better!
