Writing !

Was arranging my papers yesterday when I found my old poems and writings written on tattered pieces of paper. Nostalgic! All those moments reappeared in front of me when these things were written.

I realized writing is a big stress-buster for me. I feel elated after writing a good piece (prose or poetry). My poems are very simple, straightforward and direct. No hidden meanings, no metaphors, no exaggerations. They are simply my thoughts put into rhyming words. Writing is a passion that I have often ignored and never took it up seriously. But I realized, whenever I have felt strongly about something, I have written about it. If I am happy about something, I have written it down, if I am sad about something I have definitely written it down. I generally resort to writing things that I cannot share with anyone, and maybe that’s the reason why most of my poems have a sad vibe. But the good thing is they always end on an optimistic note. Because as I start writing, I start feeling light in the heart. Somehow, all the tension is released from my system. I start seeing things from different, more positive perspective. Writing is a way of self-introspection for me. Its my method of playing with my thoughts – trying to make sense of them. Well, if you read my blog description that was the basic reason why I started writing this blog.

I have often sat down with a pen and paper thinking I will write something today but never been able to. I have never been able to decide and write. Its always been a sudden spontaneous urge to write. Many times it’s been so involuntary that I do not even realize I am writing. I want to be able to write whenever I decide to. Any ideas on how I can generate writing at will?
