I want to write an interesting and a remarkable article everyday but most of the times as I start to think of a topic or a catching title to an article, my thought jams, or it becomes congested, that, at the end of the day I wake up with no article finished.
Though I read strategies and varied writing guidelines, it is to no avail when my brain refuses to think. One advice is to create an article where the writer has an expertise. But whenever I apply the same, I tend to bore. The reason maybe is that, my line of work (Finance and Legal) is seemingly boring too.
Another advice is to seek an area of interest to a writer. But, because of the so many things that makes me interested, I again tend to cram. Indeed, I believe more in the idea to write because I have the urge to do so, because I may have something to say and a message to tell. And that I can show something and express it in the way I want it to be.
I really keep on making an attempt to come up with a very remarkable piece. Good idea counts a lot but it must be something novel and revealing. I know that it really takes patience, keen observations, childlike passion and willpower to become a fulfilled writer. Also, varied experiences in life are the most ideal source material for a writer which is often the answer for all uncertainties. Still, because of the so many cares in this life, I tend to be out of focus.
Ernest Hemingway said, “If you can’t write the truth, don’t write.” I agree, indeed even in creative writing, it is more effective if it can relate to actual life encounters. This is one reason that whenever I come up with a good title, it will take a lot of my time looking for truthful sources to support my story line.
Sometimes, I end up looking for appealing news in the internet which I find to be worth sharing or seeding, then, I attach a link of it in my webpage. Whenever I do this, I really do not feel fulfilled, than, when I post a news or article of my original creation.
There is a saying that goes like this, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve.” I accede to this, for the only qualification for success is that, to utilize whatever combination of talent one possesses to the fullest extent possible and enjoy doing so. But of course, with God’s help.
I have learned my lessons now I should not spend my life waiting for that big break. I have to start now because unused and unannounced talent and potential is wasted. Foremost, I have an obligation and a responsibility to use my God-given abilities to the fullest, for the glory of God.
