 Yesterday I went down memory lane and wrote about one of my experiences, But for now I'm holding it off from publishing it, I don't think I want to put it out there just yet. But writing about it gave some sense of comfort, writing about my own experiences gives me a very different feeling, it makes me feel like I have gone back in time and reliving that once more. there is some kind of warmth in doing that but it is also painful at the same time, that is one reason why I stopped writing what I was working on earlier as it became too much an emotional process and it got very overwhelming. But now I want to get back to my process, so I am taking small measures to get dive right back into it. 

In some way I am quite excited about what this new year is going to bring, I have so many plans for the coming year, one of the many things I want to do is have a bullet journal to keep track of my writing, my ideas, plot lines etc. My head is brimming with ideas on what I want to write and how I want to keep my Bullet Journal. But something that gave me lot of reassurance was the amount of support that is available in terms of writing on the internet. I am wondering now why have I not actually thought of reaching out, joining writers groups etc. I am just amazed at the number of things I was able to explore. I had recently subscribed to web pages to get writing advice and I do read their occasional mails and it does help, but I am so happy to make this discovery. I particularly liked the idea of writing prompts, it was just the thing I was looking for, because in between I lost track of writing and I just didn't know what to write I think something like this would particularly be helpful on such days where I feel stuck. I am now more confident that I will be able to write everyday if I follow something like that. Ok I am also aware that it may not be possible to write everyday in case I am travelling etc, but at least write on as many days as possible. 

I feel quite positive about my writing and I am quite thrilled to see how it all turns out.

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.
