Dazzle with Your Writing Skills
Today when I came back from a party
my mind was occupied with some cheesy talks of the people around. Someone commented
to me “You have chosen an easy profession, isn’t?” I couldn’t answer at that
point of time but the afterthoughts gave me a reason to write this post.
Writing seems calm, relaxed to
those who are not in this profession. But my views are somewhat diverse and dissimilar
in this regard. You can climb a staircase but climbing Everest is hard. You can
catch a bus while running at a bus stop but running a complete marathon is
completely different. Writing is hard, it’s not an icing on the cake to just
pen down your thoughts and feelings in stroke of an hour. It takes creativity, courage,
fearlessness, daring, valour to write even something about yourself. It’s true.
For those who want to adopt
writing as their career, first and foremost they must be open minded. Why am I saying
open-minded? This is because, everyone can’t be Jeff Keller, Dr. Joseph Murphy
or Anita Nair. Everyone must be open-minded in what they write. You can write
books, novels, magazine, brochures, flyers, journalism, blogging, recipes or
design scripts for YouTube videos. Everything is writing. Most of the people
are adamant that they want to inscribe a novel. But for writing one must be
flexible and unbiased in his or her formulating skills.
Everyone wants an overnight
success in whatever they are undertaking. They want to enjoy glamour that comes
with writing. It’s just a myth. My diverse views doesn't agree with this point. According to me there is no such thing as
overnight success. Nothing is ever quick. Steve Jobs rightly said: “If you
really look closely, most overnight success took a long time”. Writing entails
strong determination, patience, dynasty, rhythm, consistency and above all
dedication. There are no quick wins in writing.
This is for all the budding
writers out there: There are no quick wins in writing. Put in the work. You can
choose writing as a profession. Just have faith and positivity in yourself and victory
will surely touch your feet.
