My Trick in Writing

Since I devoted myself to writing, I started to become serious with it.

When I say serious, I treat it as an 8 to 5 job, the only difference though is I’m excited to sit in my chair and ready to write.

But in writing, you can’t just sit at your table at 8:00 AM and expect the words to easily flow and ideas to pour in. This is one of my frustrations in this creative realm.

It’s also what defines writing fun and mysterious.

I realize that writing wants to have fun at first, to tickle our minds and flow freely through our words. (Isn’t that what we all felt when we first enjoyed writing?)

After that magical time with writing, if you want to share it, the seriousness comes in.

As one of the advices that I've read before, "edit it mercilessly". Seriously.

Whether we like it or not, some people cringe when they see wrong spelling, incorrect grammar, and most especially cluttered ideas in a story.

And we can’t blame them.

For you and I, let’s enjoy the magic and fun in writing we once had(and still have I hope), then if you want to share your story with other people,

edit it- for your sanity,

for their readability,

and all in all - for your credibility and a flavor of your creativity.

After polishing it, it’s time to let it go.

You’ve birthed a story, let it grow.

Whatever the result is, just sit back and relax.

The real fun in writing already transpired in the beginning.

You have nothing to lose.

You have more to be surprised about.

You’ve added something beautiful to the creative world.

Then wait and see how its “beauty” connects with the readers.
