Today,
my relatively long and leisurely break off from the demands of university life
comes to a halt. Today, I am forced to face the fact that once again, I could
not play god and do whatever I want, when I want to. Today is the first day of
my second sem classes. Today is the day reality kicks in. But, more
importantly, despite all these, Today, I finally decide to write.
I know
I have been writing for a long time
now, but now that I think of my past posts, I tell myself I’ve never actually
written something quite… sharp. If I may. Nothing in here can just cut through.
It just feels bare. Dry. Emotionless. Robotic even. But worst of all, safe.
The worst mistake a writer can probably make is to keep his readers in mind while writing. It’s practically parallel to having a proctor stare from behind you as you answer an exam. Well, in my book atleast. Nothing can be worse than this form of restriction because unlike the others, we don’t see this coming. It’s not until you’re bored and lonely when you decide to look back to your writing when you realize the blankness of it all and you ask yourself how you’ve managed to allow such an odd monotone take over.
So starting today, how about we give my writing ‘skills’ (if it’s even legal to call it that) some unrestricted, creative exercise? The brainchild of my woes and current thoughts. Pure, uncensored, raw and right out ramblings which I find more appealing than anything else I’ve written that took me more than 5 minutes to think of.
