On Starting Trouble In Creative Writing

‘’Reading maketh a full man;

conference a ready man;

and writing an exact man.’’

- Francis Baccon

Make writing a hobby, a while-away-time-habit.

Here is a practical guideline on how creative writing takes place.

Tips: Get a work-book, diary or a piece of clean white-paper, better a news print paper and a pen which is pretty nice and comfortable to write with.

The correct chemistry between the smooth paper and good pen may make an idle fellow an active writer.

“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow

of emotions recollected in tranquility.”

With your tool and medium go to solitude. Recollect in tranquility the things that entered and are locked up in your mind on several occasions: like, before going to sleep the previous night; while you were travelling or waiting for bus or train; while you were sitting idly in a dry classroom; whenever your mind was with you on a lonesome hour. A thing that accidently came across, an idea, a reflections , a dream, an experience, a feeling,

a spark of a thought, a person, a character, a question, … any thing can turn a lead to the subject.

Now recall them. Recollect them in tranquility. Write the first word, the first sentence in the first style that comes to your pen tip. Put them in black and white in a good-looking hand. Here start you writing! Write in the first aim. However, first is not the best in writing, it will give you a start. You overcome the stating trouble. There you will see the magic of writing. The unsatisfied creative mind in you creates wonders. That will connect your first sentence to another newly made one to make the idea clearer. Soon you see to your surprise a proliferation of sentences one after another. They are spontaneously multiplied. New sentences unexpectedly give birth to yet more ones with associating ideas. New sentences surprisingly create paragraphs that fill pages after pages all on a sudden.

Now just go through what you have written. It is when you read it your writing becomes an amazing experience. Yes, you will find to your surprise that you have made wonders with words and ideas. See here glimpses of the hidden potentials of a promising writer. You will realize it only when you re-read what you have written in the paper. Amazement gives way to self-confidence.

Confidence to new hope that encourages and leads to new endeavors in creative writing; into yet another new start. Here you become a storyteller, an essayist, a poet. To strengthen your writing with thoughts, knowledge and ideas, keep reading.Read regularly. Read widely. Remain optimistic and be a full-man.

Edit the matter properly. After making necessary corrections and modification, rewrite your rough draft on one side of a paper. When you are satisfied with the final draft you may ask someone, better a good reader, to read the material. You may send the product for publication. It will earn you a name, fame, money and above all, pleasure and contentment, which precisely are the ultimate goal of creative wring.
