 The key to good writing is to not lose touch with writing perhaps, I have let a lot of time slide by in between and not written properly for a while now. It feels overwhelming to start writing again, but the more I put it off, the more difficult it gets to start writing once again. But one way or another I want to get back to writing how I was few months ago, I enjoyed that time so much, felt such a great sense of accomplishment. If there was one thing tat really turned things around for me this year it was my writing. It gave me a sense of self worth especially when I felt so low and dejected. it gave me hope that I can make something of myself with my writing. And now that I have stopped I beginning to feel hollow inside once again and it's not a great feeling. So I am going to try once more to get back to doing something I really love and enjoy, even if it gets difficult, I am going to try.

Of course there's the question of what I am going to write about, I already have a few ideas lined up, that I was supposed to write but haven't. Perhaps I can try to revisit those ideas and try to put them in writing. Or perhaps I can write some opinion pieces about ongoing events, or movie reviews, whatever it is  I am sure it'll come to me once I start making the effort. I want to get back to the habit of writing a set amount of words per day, and it can be anything, anecdotes from the past, things I want for my future, or just about anything. I am especially happy with the way I have set up my computer, I feel so professional when I sit at it, I feel so excited to sit here and use it so perhaps that will serve as my motivation to sit and write at least for the coming days. 

Of late I have been seeing so many people on social media with some hastag challenge where they put up pictures etc, so I guess my challenge is #writing everydaychallenge!

Let's see how well I fare.

I can feel myself drifting away from all the things I wanted to do, every time I try harder to stay on track it makes it so much more difficult to do them, and if I just stop trying, I am overcome with guilt which creeps up on me the moment I seem to lose focus and it weighs me down like a heavy burden on my shoulder. So basically I am stuck in a loop of trying to just take a break and feeling guilty and straying further away from my goals and aspirations. And sometimes when I contemplate hard about where things are going I go on a down an even more dangerous path and I am afraid of what would happen if I go there.  So I keep trying to shun the guilt and numb all feeling and escape to a place that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable. While I am able t do that when I am wide awake, I seem to have no control over what I dream, it taps me on my shoulder in my dreams and wakes me up so I don't sleep and keep pondering over what my life is going to be like. And that is one of the mos...
Yesterday, I watched the movie Bombshell, it stirred up a lot of emotions for me while watching that movie, I couldn't hold  my tears back, while watching it, especially this particular scene, wherein there are women who were harassed by Roger years ago, and each of their experiences are played out one by one, it was very distressing to hear it, this was the scene that shook me. There very many others, but this particularly had some impact on me. It has never been easy for women to come into the workforce, women have always been a lopsided world, the way things work for men are different and different for women, you are put at a disadvantage right from the start even before you can begin, because you're a woman, it automatically is assumed that whatever you do, a man can do it better, it doesn't matter how good you are at the job. The first thing you're seen as is a sexual object more than a good worker, what ever the role may be, if someone helps you out in somethin...

The Beginning

As a young adult I have always wanted to be a writer, and i wrote a lot of stuff, which i wouldnt exactly call great, so i felt embarrassed about it and then i stopped and then i started to write again but, no longer with the same ease that i did earlier on, now I keep struggling to write, I keep getting stuck at every point, I don't know what to write about so I thought of taking it up as a challenge this year, to write at least 250 words every day, about anything, without worrying about how good or bad it is, and see how that might help me in honing my writing skills. I hope I am able to follow through on this and not leave it like I did before. Earlier I thought I could postpone one day's writing to another but that only makes it worse, so the important thing is to not keep any backlogs I suppose. Let's see where this takes me.
