Writing

People who usually want to write can write. So write.

Let me settle some myths for myself before I begin this journey. Firstly, I do not need to have perfect English to begin. Thoughts are more important. Polishing comes later. Also, I do not need to know what to write to start writing. Ideas need time to germinate. I do not need to write to impress. Start for self and pleasure for others. At least, settle their curiousity. Lastly, I do not have anything to write. I must be joking. Look at the size of my brain, less the white matter. I'm amazed how my ideas are formed. Perhaps Sigmund Freud may have some answers there.

In any case, my writing is not plagiarized. It cannot be more original than the very expression in the formation of a thought.

It is true. At the speed of writing going on around us - from academic to notorious genre, do I need to burden with another? I guess if nothing else, it does prevent dementia and this is a small price to pay for a pleasure so intense!

Time to start reading up to hear what the experts have to say. It is never too late.
