Richard Bach, one of my favourite writers is quoted to have said "A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit". I couldn't agree more, true for writing, true for just about anything else in life.
I love writing. I suffer from typerrhea. I express myself much better through text than speech. Writing to me is a creative outlet, a tool for self-expression, a tool for expressing my opinion, a way to vent, a way to make sense (in every possible way). One of the driving forces for my nomadic ways are a need for new experiences which can become memoirs one day. So I travel, I meet new people, I experience new things, I hold on to my childlike inquisitiveness, I learn life lessons but I don't really write about them...not as much as I would want to anyways.
I watched Matt Cutt's TED talk again the other day about doing something new for 30 days and the first thing that popped into my mind at that time was "MAINTAIN A BLOG". What could I possibly write about, day after day, every day, for 30 days?
"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences" - Into the Wild.
The things I do would not be out of the ordinary. It's not going to be sky diving or an adventurous expedition to Patagonia, it might just be a bunch of mundane things but it would be something new, something different, something learnt, something unlearnt, something visited, something revisited. All written about through my most favourite social media channel of them all :).
A famous quote by Coelho goes along the lines of “That is why I write - to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.” I'm writing to turn just another month of my life into a fond memory, new adventure, a sometwhat riveting chapter of life.
