There was a time in my life when all I wanted to do was write. Like the greats, mind you! My favourite authors ranged from Enid Blyton to Jane Austen to toni Morrison and in recent times, Jodi Picoult. In short, I loved everything from the classics to the unabashedly romantic tearjerkers.
Today, I write for a living. Since I gave up my full time job on the editorial desk of a news magazine, writing for a living has taken on many hues. Writing brochures for companies, blogging for marketing sites, writing 'positive' ad-oriented features, websites and yes, the occasional feature stories.
When I first started this blog, I thought blogging would come easy to me. After all, writing is what I was born to do! Right? Wrong! Not about what I was born to do but about keeping up the frequency of blogging. Sometimes you don't have the time, sometimes the patience, sometimes the inspiration.... whatever, my blog looks like the bedroom of a philandering husband... rarely used!
This is my attempt at restarting this whole thing... Am taking a vow (an online promise makes me feel like I am standing in the middle of a very crowded square and shouting it out; everybody hears it but few actually stop to listen) to write in every day, on the big things, the inconsequential stuff and the ups and downs of life!
Happy reading, friends!
