when writers write

I'm not an expert in writing. I recently read a book about writing written by an expert in writing. And some of the points mentioned, are actually what I hold as my foundation in writing.

A lecturer once commented me on an essay. It was a case study business essay and the case study is a fake and created by yours truly, had received a praise from the lecturer and passed around the class as an example. She told me that I write with flare.

But, what I write, is the feeling that happen at the moment. At that particular moment. Because I had to let it out, as I have more and more ideas or thoughts to write about and I might as well get ride of the one coming in right then.

Writing depressing stories, unfortunate love, the endless quest for love, the heartbreak hotel and being its permanent resident, doesn't mean that I'm a sad person 24/7. No, I don't cry that much. In fact, I usually cry for a mere 3 minutes and laughed myself off. I can however laugh for an hour or so.

Thats why my friends, I mean my close friends I hang out with, doesn't really read my blog. Because as much as they like the fact that I can write, that I do write and I will not stop writing, they know I'm not as depressed as I portray myself in my writings.

Writers write to evoke emotions, the deep emotions that we doesn't usually emote. Like for someone who rarely cry, if a writer can make that person cries with his/her writings, then, the objective has been achieved. If the person is a hardcore dead serious, then suddenly started laughing while reading a funny story, then, the writer is indeed brilliant in writing funny stories.

As many people criticises my writings being too deep, too emotional, too mushy, too sappy as if I'll die of a heartbroken disease, then my objective is met.

Though I thank you guys for all the support, the motivating comments and whatnot, some of the feelings are simply created to suit the writings. And if you ask whether its worth it, imagine this. Someone who is really in that particular could stumble upon the post, relate to the story as to their current situation and benefit from all your supportive, motivating and dear comments.

So its worth it.
