The Lazy Writer...


It was on rainy 06.06.2013 afternoon, that Ishithaa, dragged me to writetribe and pushed me to “Why I Write”. At first I wanted to deny, but that would have shattered all her enthusiasm. So I promised her that I will...

Now its 4.15 pm, so here I begin my writing...

“Usually I am very lazy at lettering, but it’s a fact that writing always makes me free of my thoughts and feelings. I always try to be impersonal through my words, but the closest of my friends can just sneak out a glimpse of my personality in a bare form. I believe that, I am not gifted with that instant imagining mechanism, which catalyzes the writing process, and hence feel handicapped at times when I can’t scribble constantly. What made me write on this particular subject is the compulsion from Ishithaa, one my rare friends who writes. I was never a serious writer (nor am I now), & prefer poems, as it helps to upkeep the much needed brevity. Actually it was my wife Parvathy, who ignited the writing spirit in me at first (as you see most of my creations will be dedicated to her), & Ishithaa always boosted it up. But my first phase as a writer was rather unsuccessful which I owe myself, and I owe my second phase to Parvathy & Ishithaa, but I can’t assure the success rate.” 

“Writing is yet another good means of being popular, but my writings usually hovered around criticizing the societal norms and unusual romance, which might have prevented me from inspiring and influencing a big mass, or maybe I never wanted to be popular through my writings (chuckle). ... (I am stopping...for the time being).  Its 5.30pm!”
**************************
It’s after 4 more days, on 11.06.2013 that I am continuing...

2.50pm

“The constant questioning from Parvathy that whether I blogged anything new, and on the other hand Ishithaa was driving my nerves, reminding me of my promise, that has led me to write again.

Whenever I wanted to be a serious writer, I have turned up being more of a philosopher and paved the way for arguments.  So writing has not only made me notorious among the elite bloggers, but it also helped me in being honest and to express myself in a more profound manner.  But beneath all this the question still lingers around...  “Why I Write”...to which I should say that keyboarding  letters into Microsoft Word 2007, has always helped me in understanding myself better...”

Pardon me if this is an abrupt ending, but I think my conscience is pleading me to stop...

3.09pm.

Now as I show it to Ishithaa, her immediate response will be ...guess what.... another promise from me, to write on a linky, which she will be launching soon... (Exhausted)

Lazy Me!

This prompt is in response to WriteTribe prompt and also in response to the Thursday bloghop #80 at the Writer’s Post.

  4. haha! Somehow your post brought a smile to my face I could live through all the elements you quoted with your wife and friend pushing you. Lovely Sreedev :) Would you believe I guess this is your first write up as in not poetry that I am reading! You must intercede a few more along with your poems which are definitely out of the world :)

  7. Chasing the impersonal self through the spontaneous creation of words is what makes a writer with a difference.

  8. Hmm... so this might have been a poem on "Why I write?" too :D but turned out into a five day saga? ;)

    Well, inspiration should strike indeed. :)

  10. I enjoyed reading that. Why do we writers write? Because we love to and yet, it's difficult to start and continue. And sometimes it's difficult to stop.
    I'd better stop now - LOL
