It hasn't been long since I became a 'writer' or rather I started calling myself as one. It was more like someone turning a superstar overnight. Well, again from my perspective! Joblessness and owning a blog was how it all started. And then it became the source for bread and butter and sometimes nutella or peanut butter... And overnight, yep, over another night, the self realisation of 'you are born to be a writer'.
So, when I started off, there were hardly anyone I knew who used to write, from whom I could take tips on. And later, when I started to gain some confidence and my scribbles were been appreciated by at least a few people, sh*t happened!
Firstly, certain people who were born only to criticize, making fun of you on whatever you write and giving you links to blogs which their gf/bf wrote which you find useless. And certain other people who think they rule the world, again criticizing you. And you end up thinking you should stop whatever you were doing. Well when they say you are a loser that you cannot take criticism, you fail to tell them there's something called constructive criticism and these people only know how to let down others and destruct someone!
Aargh! Sorry! Became emotional! Hmmmph!! Grudges down.. Back to topic.
Secondly, whoever you meet turns out to be a writer! I mean being in the same field, it's obvious that you meet such such people and you can't blame it when they all turn out to be so far better than what you are. But besides that, you still meet people who are writers!
The one you just met at a coffee shop is a writer... Your boss is a writer... That friend's friend is a writer. Your old friend who's busy with his MBA classes in a renowned college and another friend who works in a MNC are bloggers. Your junior from college who unlike you holds a degree, leaves it behind as he/she loves writing! What the heck!! So you mean to say you wont let me live in peace?
If you think this post is out of frustration or jealousy, I would never want to correct you because that's so obvious! I mean, there are people who claim themselves as writers but fail to do justice to that and you fear you might fall into that category - a nightmare. Also, you know nothing else to do, let alone writing! Sigh! Seems like bread n peanut butter is gonna be a far away dream :-(
