From the Drawing board

Let me squeeze in an update whilst I have the time. *Clears off the cobwebs*

Yes its been a while hasn’t it?

I’m often plagued by this fear where if I don’t write on a regular basis, I’ll forget how to write. Well not forget how to write, but somehow lose the flow or rhythm which is essential for capturing readers interest and forcing them, literally, to continue reading rather than merely skimming.
Some of you may argue that, it’s the subject matter which determines readers interest and not style and flow. I’m not totally convinced with that argument, although it may not be completely untrue. I visit many blogs (not as much as I used to) and often find that not all bloggers have great subjects to write upon, but rather describe mundane, trivial matters, with a certain ease, finesse, and fluency which makes it a delight to read.
If you can create a wholesome combination of great story or subject matter and unique style and flow, consistently, you might as well consider writing professionally. Seriously.

So I shall attempt to write regularly just to ensure I don’t lose my mojo if you may. I suppose it applies to all facets of life. Like sports for instance. I can only imagine how professional athletes need to practice day in and day out to maintain that flow, that certain rhythm which makes them great to watch. So what does Alex Rodriguez or Virender Sehwag do when they feel they’re not in great hitting form? They head to the batting cages, and so that’s what I shall do as well. A cage to hone my writing skills.
