why I want to be a writer


I do not know why, but writing does give me a high. When I am writing something, I feel very close to the situation that I describe in words. I generally write about the experiences that I have had in my life. But at times, I do write about the things that I have not done. They generally include a description of a place that I have not been to; or I write about describing a feeling that I am yet to experience. For instance, once I was about to meet a friend of mine whom I had not met personally in the last 5 years. Just few days before meeting him, I was so excited that I could not sleep properly during the nights. I would just keep on wondering what all I would do when I will meet him. And when I actually ended up living the dream, I loved to tally my writing to the real life situation of meeting him.

Till now  I have never cooked up my real life to my writing, but at times I do feel my real life gets molded the way my writing comes up.

I have been blogging and ghost writing since some time. Though I do not earn a modest living out of my writing yet, but the creative satisfaction that I receive while writing and getting appreciated after submitting my work to my clients is tremendous. With this course by The Writers Bureau, I aim to learn the craft of writing, the professional way. I want to improve my writing; therefore I have enrolled for the course. I know I have been lazy enough to start this course after more than a year of paying for it and enrolling, but I am determined to be committed towards it. I have even resigned from my full time job to dedicate myself whole-heartedly towards this course. I hope to come out with my own published book soon after finishing this course.
