5 Crazy Myths About Writers To Undermine Their Confidence.

One of the easiest things to do is writing. Isn't it? After all, you just need to write and that's what we all have been doing since our school days. Then, why you look for a writer to do your job?

Being a writer, I can literally tell what this world expects out of us. Some expectations are true but many are truly false. The writer is always over-burden with the expectation and trusts me,we don't have any less responsibility.

Here I've listed a few myths surrounding me as a writer. Writers- don't get scared, they are not real.

We know Everything- We are always overestimated when it comes to knowledge. Writers are not omniscient, we studied the same course as you did. We really need to dig deep into the topic we pick for our pen. Yes, we do brush up our knowledge to keep our writing updated but don't expect us to know everything.

We are WordBook - Writers are not born with grammar book and spellchecker. We can also go wrong in grammar and we also need to double check on spellings. We are the narrators, we know the art of telling a tale and we also know how to catch the details of the story but we are not the language pro. We do mistakes and here I admit.

We can write in No-time - Writers don't always have stories running in their head. We are not really the creator of all the stories roaming in the world. Obviously, we need time to create a heart-catching story. A writer needs some time and space to deal with numerous thought and weave an amazing story around.

We write daily - No, we don't. We are writers, not computers, we take time off. I've seen people expecting writers to write, write and only write. Don't we have other activities to do? Writers also have a life as you all which they love to live more than you think. We don't write daily, some days we just spend reading too.

We've all the time in the world - We have all the spare time in the world. Why? Because we have time to write. Does it make sense? Writing can be a hobby just like any other activity, it's all about preference. Writing takes time, patience, creativity, commitment, efforts and a lot more than what people think. It's more about passion and a way to earn a living.

 Writers are not really the ultimate source of knowledge. We do learn things around the world, as everyone else does. We can know the art of telling stories. Yes, you can call us ARTIST.

So, writers out there, pat your back to survive in the world full of false expectations. KEEP WRITING.

Freedom, Feminism And The Modern World

Image
Welcome to the modern world! A world where we all feel extraordinary with ordinary knowledge. Oops! I shouldn’t have said it. But fine. After all, we all got freedom of speech.  In the digital world, everyone has become opinionated as we are communicating like never before.  Big thanks to the power of phones and the net.  At times, I’m confused, if the modern world is a curse or a boon?  No doubts, I love all the technologies around. But the concern here is are we using it right and for the right? Have we well-understood words like freedom, feminism, equality, sexism, and a lot many topics that we talk about almost every day? Have we? Or do we just gain knowledge from some “self-proclaimed” experts on social media?  My dad once told me, “ if people were to name based on their jobs, then everyone would be an opinionist ”. And I find it so true in today’s time. It’s not that back in generations people lacked an opinion. Since mankind, there are opinions. What we l...

Let’s Listen Before We All Are Lost!

What world are we living in? Is it you and me depressed or the entire world? What' wrong with us, timing, or just us? Since the lockdown or even before, depression has always been hitting our generation like anything else. What concerns me more is our attitude towards it.  Depression is not a mental disorder, its a phase , and let's accept a fact that we all go through it -little or more. Some can deal with it, but not everyone is a good swimmer. And that's why we need to deal with more power and strength to save our friends, family, and society.  Over time, " Happiness has become a myth ", just a myth. We are just happy in our pictures, and we are so much into flaunting it that all our smiling pictures and happy moments are on social media channels. And what drives our happiness these days is no. of likes we get on our so-called, "pretending to be happy" pictures.  Do we flaunt our fears and failures, like happiness and success? If no, why? Aren't t...
