Not Just for the Moment – But for All Time

 

Whatever I think and observe around me,
I try to transform into words.
I don’t keep emotions to myself

I react to them.
Writing is the expression of my feelings;
it is their hard copy.

I read more than I write,
because one can never be a good writer without being a bibliophile.
I love reading.
I enjoy reading.
And I strive to make my writings enjoyable too.

My first draft is never perfect
I polish it later, as much as possible.
Writing, in any form, is like a river:
just as many tributaries feed a river,
numerous sources flow into a narrative.

Writing should not be merely informative;
it should give pleasure and, at the same time,
convey a powerful message.
It should not be “just for the hour,”
but “one for all time.”
I continue to strive to pen such a piece.
