Life of a writer
I am far way from being a writer but i have always been fascinated about how writers make magic happen.
today I got a chance to sit with a writer to understand his life and work.
here is what he said, "it's like being a dad, you get no time to yourself."
when you are writing you are parenting the words, and you have to be on top of it all the time, as soon as you take your eyes off of it they will break free and run into every direction.
you don't want to raise spoiled children, so you need to be on top of it all the time, because if there is one thing writers hate, it's doing work twice.
After spending a lot of time and energy in writing, it is not surprising that sometimes you begin wondering if your work will be recognized.
Sometimes, you have to wonder if people will even bother reading it.
Being a writer and blogger takes a lot of patience and perseverance. You can write about anything and everything in the world but if no one reads your work, it is as good as non-existent.
So writing an article is not easy. it involves going through a lot of ideas and writing them down and then thinking about how to connect all those ideas to each other. you have to make sure that what you are writing is correct and you have to provide evidence for everything. you have to do research on everything that you are writing so that what you are saying is actually true and accurate.
Yes I know what you are thinking that to become a good writer is really really hard but it's actually not like that. I know there are lots of people who don't have time to write because they have a lot of other things to do. you don't need to be in hurry always, I was like that too but as I get older I started to realise how important it is to take your own time.
Writing is my passion, there may be people who will say that what I am doing is not a passion and its just a hobby but that is how I feel about writing. I love to write, its probably a curse, whatever it is but I feel so relieved when I write, especially when I am not writing for my blog rather writing for some school assignment because at least when i am writing for my blog, I am not thinking about other people, whatever people might say about my writing or my characters.
I write for a living, or at least I try to. From the time I wake up in the morning till the time I go sleep, I can be found with my head buried in my laptop, typing away at something. And by something, I mean anything. Whether its an article or a story or a poem – you name it, I most likely have tried writing it.
Thing is, people don't know that writing is a demanding career and they don't realize how much hard work goes into writing something good enough to publish. So this article is going to be about telling you what it's like being a writer and what being a writer means to me.
"I can't get this one idea out of my head" were her words.
"I've been spending all this time writing, and I'm not happy with the way it's coming out."
It's a familiar story for many writers: an idea consumes you, and you write freely without stopping to consider whether it's any good or making sense. Writing helps me make sense of the crazy world we live in, it makes me feel free and it makes me happy. It allows me to find out about things I did not know about before and it allows me a creative outlet. it makes me feel as though i am part of something big and good.
I'm a writer, not a very good one actually but I try my best.So here it is my life as a writer. I have started writing when I was in school, at the time i was a kid who was passionate with writing. I had a friend who was very good at writing and she used to inspire me to write more and get published in school paper.
there are 3 kind of writers.
1) the ones who write and write without thinking. they take themselves too seriously and sometime, they even blame others for not taking their work seriously.
2) The writers who thinks too much. At times, thinking over a topic is not enough because one needs to do some real world research. Doing so usually discourages them.
3) the final type is the smartest. the ones who know how to balance thinking and writing with research.
I will put a stop here and say till i write again.

Life of a writer is full stories real and invented, logically written in his own style and image. His life is full of sorrows, dreams, fantasies and hope.
