Write baby, write

Today is the last day of the month and I have the promise to me/myself to write a post and have to publish it before midnight and it is 7.30 p.m. Wondering what to write, the blank page is open, saying come on man

Looking around I see the book on the shelf, its called GET EPIC SHIT DONE by Ankur Warikoo. I had found a book called DO EPIC SHIT by the same author at Lakshmi Menon’s house. I fell for the book by its cover and the title and was curious, what the shit. As the author says this book will make you think and the book I bought will make you act. Its more of a conversation between a teacher and student. Many life questions are asked and answered. Since I was thinking of what to write in this post, I remember reading a question answer session in which they discuss how writing helps.

It took me years to start writing, a fear was holding me back, fear of language , expressions, rejection, approval and all that, people who has not started writing will know. I remember writing to a newspaper , middle column, years ago, I do not know which way did it go, never heard or seen anything about it.

The blog is a great platform where you are your master, you write whatever you want , however you want, without worrying who is listening, no fear of rejection since you are the publisher. The style I used was conversational, that way the mistakes will have an owner.

Think about it, every human being is a story by him or herself, see I can use my own expression which you have never heard before. If every one decides to jounalise their life at the end of the day, maybe in a few words , it will also act as a stress buster. For me this slot of the evening of the last day of the month is an exciting one, it makes me think of you, a hope of entertaining you my way. The best thought is people who like me will read and then who do not want to be liked.

The other day some one commented about a joke in my post and I told her, though I have written it, I have not read it. I read my blog a week after publishing. She took it as another joke, though I meant it. Writing is an experience, reading that is another.
Another accomplishment is I could publish a book without any bossy judgemental publisher. You have heard about Harry Potter got accepted after many rejections. The book which I got published “This and that” is available in Amazon, Flipkart, Noble and Barnes and have no idea is any body buying or reading them.

I have reached this far and lost my way, I was to quote from the book Get Epic Shit done.

The Quote begins :
The student – “ I struggle to communicate my ideas, my thoughts., I get nervous, I feel anxious. What can I do to improve my verbal communication ? “
Teacher – First, understand that our ability to communicate verbally is a direct reflection of our ability to structure our thoughts clearly. And that begins by writing !
Student –“Writing ? oh please ! I am not a writer, Nor am I interested in becoming one. It is the last thing I would do “.
(me- there you are, do you see you )
Teacher – “Hear me out. Writing is the slowest form of expression that we have as humans.
We think fast.
A lot of us tend to speak fast as well.
Writing can never match that speed.
Which is actually the reason why writing is so effective.
When we write, we are training the brain to select the most thought out of all that is inside it.
That process trains us to control the pace of our thoughts, structure those thoughts and refine them.
So when we write, we essentially tell our brain- this thought is the most important, let me write it down.
Student –“ is there a minimum amount I need to write ? when should I write ?, what should I write about ?”

Teacher- “ Write every day.
Start with a page.
Write about anything at all.
It should be conclusive.”
Continues…

Before someone says “copyright’, let me stop. The book handles many questions which gives some interesting answers. We can take it or leave it, no compulsion.

Now look at this blog, I am not sure how many are still with me. If we had to talk this, many of you would have looked at your watches, remembered some urgent assignment, would have been stressed, how the hell to escape without hurting me and so on. Advantage me, who is reading, who has escaped, I don’t know and I don’t want to. Life becomes easy. (, Bye.
