Free e-Course : Want to become a Writer?(Part 5)

Chapter I : Basics
Writers are not born (continued)
In the earlier parts (Click here to see the previous post) you did see that it is possible for you to become a writer yourself 100% if only you have – the will; the mind-set; the inclination; imagination; visualization of the future how it will be, if you become a writer; the passion to engage yourself in the writing pleasure and it is your thoughts you are pouring into words.
Yes – before starting to write you must think. Think calmly without any disturbance whatsoever. This is the thumb rule for any writing – a news report; story; novel; an article; an essay; a sales copy; press release; review and so on. When thinking clearly about a topic, you get the spark and it develops in your mind gradually. It starts flowing from that spark into what you are going to write about.
Many of us find the calm place to think is our bed. After a day’s work when you hit the sack, you will find that your mind floats into hundreds of things. Within micro seconds – every thing you experienced during the whole day comes to mind and relates them with other things, already stored up-to the brim in your brain.
This is the right time to divert your thinking towards the topic you want to write. Never mind if you are damn tired and fall asleep the moment you lay your back to the bed. You can very well go to sleep. But before that, for a split second, divert your thoughts towards the topic – enough.
The sub-conscious mind will be awake always, even when you are in deep slumber. It will go on working on the topic and like magic, when you wake up in the morning, it will readily get back to your thinking about the topic again. You must have observed that in the early mornings, your mind is very brisk and works fast.
This is the time most writers get their spark for writing and sit up before their computer to write. As already they had got the spark during the night, once they start typing the flow will be coming like a stream. They will pour everything the mind says into words, not bothering about shape, design, format, grammar, punctuation etc. All these come much later.
Why you should go into the above exercises? That is what we are going to see next (To be continued).
