At long last! I’m writing again.
This inaugural post is a tribute to all those writers, bloggers, journalists, novelists who right now, are struggling to find words, phrases and sentences to express their ideas. I feel for you people. Everyday I feel a tension swelling inside my chest. And wow, it’s only now that I realized that the best way to go about it, is to write it. So just write. Fill up the blank page. Get the pen and let it spread some ink. Lay your hands on the keyboard and press the keys and keep pressing the space bar till you move on and on and on. You’ve got a story to tell, an experience to recount, a struggle to document, a celebration to render permanent.
On the web. On the notebook. On the document folder. It could even be in .doc, .docx, .rtf.
Whatever the format. You’ve got to write. Write foolish. Write profound. Write smart. Write silly. Write the right words. Write the wrong one.
The important thing is to do it. And exercise your faith. Exercise your mind. Take the match, strike it and let the fire spread. But do have a sufficient amount of water to temper the flames. Your aim is not to burn down everything in your sight, only to burn down the barriers that have prevented your experience with the world. And now that you are a writer, go out into the world. Notice. Comment. Critique. Observe. Experience. Taste. See. Hear. Feel. Exercise your senses. And once you’re ready, immortalize the world you see on paper. Write it.
