Lately i have got an itch. An itch to write. But as it always occurs with me, my lethargy has prevented me from writing anything. It is not that I have not written anything. I am literate. And I am a student of a university. I have written many essays, letters, long answers for exams and assignments. None of them was just for fun. Actually writing was never fun for me. But enough is enough. Here is my first attempt at writing a blog.
This is the first time I am writing a blog. Actually this is one of those rare times when I have done something just to satisfy myself. Something to relieve my personal itch. The itch of temptation. And I can say that I am very relieved.
For many days I was thinking to write a blog entry. Now I believe you need to be in a flow to perform any creative task. I don't know about others but this is true for me.
Being in flow is not easy. Especially when you are sitting in front of your computer. Computers are a Pandora box of endless distractions. I can never concentrate on one thing when i am on my computer.
What was the solution? Simple! Pick up a copy and a pen. And start studying something. Especially some textbook related to your course. Studying a textbook is very stimulating in its own way. It bores me to hell. As a cop out my mind starts meandering. Add some good music and the result is a barrage of ideas. With some good luck I may find myself in the flow mode.
So I made myself ready. I had a copy besides me. I had a pen. Thus the writing started. Writing with no central idea. No coherence. Just writing some arbitrary blah blah.
And it seems to be working. I have one page-full of text by now. This text can be posted on my blog. And LO! Here is the first blog entry of my life. My first blog entry!
