Writing is about immediate survival from the strong emotions which threaten to create turmoil, but the writings that emerge from that struggle survive the turbulent times. Writing is about the courage to persistently present the principles of survival, hope, and dignity in a creative way. It is your immediate ingenuity that can either sink a narrative or give them strength to sail through turbulent times. … Continue reading Survival of Writing
Let writing stand there for some time without the expectations and weather the reactions. When they are not stuffed with piffles and borrowed emotions and speak convincingly of its strength. Storytelling becomes so profound that none can ignore its presence. Pliable writing falls unceremoniously on the ambiguous pages; only to be ignored and forgotten soon. ~Amitav Continue reading It’s Writing
I find that many blogs are abandoned due to various reasons. Started with much enthusiasm, as blogging is becoming popular, the truth is that almost 54% of bloggers lose interest in taking the blog forward. Let’s face it, blogging is quite challenging! Starting a blog is relatively easier, but to keep the momentum and passion alive to actively network with people is challenging. Some of … Continue reading Why Blogs Fail
With less attention span, the culture of literature does not explore beyond a certain point. The seriousness of literature turns away many as it requires them to delve deeper and urges to forget the tightly held beliefs about the certainty that characters are supposed to possess. This is the reason serious literature is seen with disdain. Let that be true, but a writer should not … Continue reading Essence of Literature
Never mould your creativity according to the myriad demands. The mettle of a writer, poet, and artists is determined by the ability to evolve with a kind of uniqueness that reflects from each creation. If a work of creativity is hesitant, reticent, and diluted with echoes of those demands to shape them accordingly, means it is not entirely an honest creation. Once creativity is compromised, … Continue reading The Works of Creativity
The seriousness of literature does not influence everybody. Its intensity and honesty stimulate a sceptical mindset towards literature. Every possible type of critique pours over the literary conversation to dilute the seriousness. Complexities of serious literature require an open-minded reading while trying to interpret the writer’s sentiments. When a writer stirs uncomfortable emotions, the initial reaction towards literature is that of disbelief, accusation, and rejection … Continue reading Literary Reasons
Some art spills over abundantly to create a new course Deluge some of the invectives along the way Seeds of character that were dormant will spring surprisingly Bountiful words, with the bouquet of emotions None of the edifices survived to view this magical transformation Dark imaginations cannot shadow art for too long Pouring bitter feelings over the compassionate crucibles Beguiled by deceptions no more, the … Continue reading The Love for Art
Your writing reflects what you read. Reading is an essential lifeline that keeps the mind running beyond the boundaries. Any genre of literature is like an unknown wandering with twists and turns. How the mind maneuvers through unknown territory while gathering knowledge, depend on interpretation skills. Even to read your own work and craft them with essential creative philosophies require keen eyes. Publish what you … Continue reading Read, Reflect, and Write
Wild imaginations may be considered a nonsensical play on words Invoking the tragic elements to counter with more bizarre arguments Turning away from an intellectual adventure Depending on mere rhetoric and narcissistic pleasure Theatres can’t be filled with audiences for such display of characters Applauses blended with sarcasm may seem to be an exalted reaction The spirits of yore cannot be called upon to hear … Continue reading Ostentatious
The only cure for writing is to write even more; there isn’t any distraction that is persistent and bold enough to pull away from this journey. It’s not the temptations of words, but a strong persuasion of the heart to translate the secret conversations. They need to be there; rest on the blank pages and cushion their restlessness. For a while, everything feels insipid, colourless, … Continue reading The Passion for Writing
