Why Do I Write?

The growing problem these days is that the phrase, ’pen is mightier than sword’ has become highly misinterpreted... We are slowly, without realizing are pushing ourselves into a cocoon of being Keyboard warriors, but when it comes to actually standing up for an issue do we?
Does it give the liberation? What does actual liberation mean? Have we ever felt it? How does it feel to be liberated from the constraints?

So, where is that power now?

Does writing give it? To begin with, I will explain a chain of interrelated ideals which comes along with writing- To start with, one must Ink their thoughts, to not forget it. When you start writing, it stays, not in your short term memory but it gets encoded and stays in your mind and helps you recall more easily. Remember, we were asked to write and practice all those formulas and equations?

Secondly, when you write, your mind lets you view things in a different way as the flow goes.

Which is why, I recommend that you write your heart but let your mind drive it.
Analogies begin to flourish your thoughts.

 It aids in putting your perspective with your examples and your creativity the way you want it to be said, and make the world view it through your eyes. The take away for you is, it gets encoded into your mind, and thus supporting the earlier said point.

Finally in the chain, You forget the outside world, and your entire focus begins to fall on what's in front of you but still, there will be a point where the mind is trying to connect different dots and when this happens, you start bringing up analogies to say a complex view point in a very simple way that everyone understands. When this point is done, the above point is taken care and the chain continues.

The chain of events are always interrelated and when you don't break it, it grows big.

Writing to me, is like dreaming when I'm awake and if you can do it passionately you'll feel the same. But, if you are waiting to write, only when you felt like writing, you'd never write. Are you worried that you cannot write professionally? Who is a professional writer, he's one amateur who never stopped writing. Remember you can never always write exceptionally well every day but you can always go back and edit a bad page. Empty pages cannot be edited.

I've seen people say, ‘write what you do not want to forget’, but let me ask you back, in case you've a jug full of water and you've not used it for a week, wouldn't you want to empty it and take in fresh water? It is the same way to write, is to empty your mind to get in fresh thoughts.

Write, if you're fascinated by magic :). According to me, it is as close as getting to a magic, to create something from something intangible.
People call you an introvert? Then break the silence. Writing is a war, not a battle against silence. Extroverts: Don't you want to make your mind talk with the paper as well? Don't let only your mouth to do all the talking.
Writing is about filing in your pages with the beatings and the breathing of your heart and the chambers of your different levels of your mind.

Writing gives you the license to explain anything and everything complex in a simple way, and put front a simple thought with a lot of logical twists. This thought was explained to me by my professor, well-wisher, mentor, Dr. Debashish, when he once told me people understand gravity not because of the complex theorizing of it, but because it was told in a simple way of apple falling down and not going up. That is the power of words.

Remember, there will be days when people will appreciate your work, times when they will laugh at you, times when they say they don’t understand your works, be irritated that it’s long, but write for the liberation of your thoughts, you’ll get admirers.

I'll tell you something, writing is not about telling the reader that fire will be hot or as simple as saying it is snowing, it is to make the reader to feel that heat and the cold. It is as lucid as it gets to dwell in with the reader.

Let me promise you on this final one - to write is like having a lot of persons in your head and you still be a single person... Until you start feeling the different characters in you, you're not on the right direction..

And to write, there are two secrets..
Read a lot.. And the main is..
Write a lot.
