Write Away

I spent most of today writing. And it wasn't short, blog writing; it was to be a full-length feature. I needed to concentrate. And so I turned off my phone, locked myself in my room, turned on Michelle Branch at full blast, and started typing away.

I've missed writing. My day job requires me to read everybody else's writings, edit them, and make them sing. It is an all-consuming yet highly-fulfilling occupation. I first read through the whole piece, making sure all the elements required are there. Next, I start chopping, refining, and polishing away.

The writing process is different. All you have in front of you is a blank page, or more precisely, a blank screen. You then throw in all your materials like a jigsaw puzzle, and it's up to you to mix and match all those pieces until you end up with a cohesive whole. I love it! I love weaving my words as if they were inside a tunnel until we all see the light.

Finally, I am finished. After hours of sitting in front of my notebook, I am exhausted but happy. I take a bath, turn on my phone, and get back to the real world.
