What to Write and How to Write?
It's a difficult, amidst commonplace occurrences, to decide what one chooses to write. All amateur writers like me face this difficulty. What would serve as an interesting piece for the numerous readers hooked on net? Readers savour practically anything that comes through blogs. The term blog dispels the cloud of seriousness that overcasts writing. There are plenty of sites that advise you how to blog effectively.
Writing is like a TV soap. Production is all that matters. If something really startles you, grips you and haunts you, then with an innate writing ability you can definitely bring forth a worthy piece. Remember, it is not events but their impact that has interested writers. Only calenders, bills, user manuals and schedules are without any impact; and you know how interesting they are!
Overcome the fixation for a particular set of words. Record things with a fresh pen that is not confined to a limited diction. Avoid premeditated expressions. Use words as figures that inform and impress. Weave the story with silk threads and avoid knots. If you are skilled at creating a smooth fabric then even a commonplace occurrence will shimmer with your writing. You could give a cute story of helping a school-boy by lacing his shoes and how he couldn't make anything of your gesture and went away staring at you. Or, how you took a woman in the neighbourhood after a few encounters in the backyard. What grips you the most will pitch you the most. "If you have something interesting or compelling to say, your intelligence is going to come through even if you use the simplest words."
You have to bring the sense out. The sense may be concealed in the redundancy of words, in the crowd of ill-timed sentences, and in the unfaithful rendering of the moment. It's time for your writing to stretch and reach for newer expressions.
