Sometimes, I feel Writing is nothing but talking to the words. Creative writing to be precise. You just take one word or phrase and let it know how beautiful it is with the help of other such simpler yet relevant words. And there you go, you have got the best that you can think of, a masterpiece that you have always been dreaming of. But is it that easy to be called a masterpiece?
For being the best, you got to choose the best and weave it in the most amusing manner. Here goes the hierarchy:
1) You choose your best word or phrase (Generally, it is your title)
2) Select the other necessary words (The stanzas in your article)
3) The weaving words (the ones that describe and connect the dots)
And there it is, your overall composition.
You may think of it as a Ladder. The better of the 'best' word you choose, the higher you climb up on the ladder of success. And not to forget, this ladder has no upper end and thus, there is always the scope to move to the next step. Mark that success here is the literary excellence that one can achieve and does not relate to any monetary standard.
Notwithstanding, words are nothing unless they come from your within, to express what you really are. If it's only about writing then you may go on writing without bothering about their whereabouts, from here and there. But the essence of the words will not be conveyed efficiently unless those are composed with compassion and contemplation. And more often than not, that is the most basic thing one misses out here. Or maybe you are just not able to realize whether the sense of attachment is there or not.
But as the wise men say, some things are better spoken before you take them to your grave. So it all lies on you, the way you get those things to you. Although you need not stick up to the mainstream methods, ups and downs make it more joyful of a ride for the readers.
So what are you waiting for? Get the hold of your pen and the nearest notepad, and draft your very own self in the piece of paper. Scribble down the stories that have made you what you are. Write something that will go down the lane of memories, preferably good ones.
