On Writing…
Lately, I embarked on a journey for the search of my creative self. This may sound a little confusing but it was exactly how I felt when I signed up for the Creative Writing course at a university in Glasgow.
Sorry, I should rephrase that – my journey really started a couple of years ago when I had a dream. In that dream was a boy who through the series of fantastic events has inadvertently become a part of the plot to change the world as we know it. The dream was so vivid and detailed; it almost reeked of the sole purpose – to re-ignite my creative thinking, to add another dimension to the otherwise ordinary life.
A lot has happened since then. I got married; I have a beautiful daughter and a different job to start with. The new circumstances have become much more demanding on my time than I ever allowed myself to imagine and like with some other things, I guess I could have just abandon the whole idea of writing and label it as superstitious. Somewhere deep inside me though, I felt the flicker of ambition growing stronger with every book, every person, every single experience I encountered.
Today, it’s not really clear if my endeavors will lead to something significant but I am sure as hell that I thoroughly enjoy being someone with more than just a job and a series of mundane choirs to live through. As selfish as this may sound, I feel a sense of satisfaction when I am away and immersed in the process of writing. Those of you who have been writing for some time know how gratifying it is to see the ideas ripe into something multidimensional and rich.
So, what are you going to see from me? It’s premature to speak about a full-length novel or something of an equal magnitude. What I can reveal is that you will get to read some short stories here, tips for new books and other similarly driven themes.
See you around!
