Joy of Writing

Writing is a journey between a man and his thoughts. The writer has an idea to share with the world which he knows will make everyone stop and listen to him. The writer is enthusiastic, happy and has the will to share the idea with the whole world. He starts penning down his thoughts on a piece of paper. Slowly and slowly, as the idea develops in his mind, the writer becomes a story teller. The writer has to think of the scene setting, character development and narrative development as well as make the story lively and entertaining. And this is where the joy is. He has to intrigue, educate and stimulate the reader simultaneously. He has to exploit the theme to catch the attention of the reader.

The writer needs to put his heart and soul in his writing. He first writes, then reads, rereads, rewrites, and so on, and, till the point the writer isn’t satisfied with what he has written, the process goes on and on. As the saying goes, success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

Throughout this roller coaster ride, the writer feels the joy of expressing himself. The world which exists in his mind is more complex, interesting and as the way he sees, not the world which we live in which is harsh, cruel, yet friendly and full of love. At the end if the writer has given his all, his story never disappoints.

The biggest joy for the writer comes at the end, when he showcases his work to the whole world. His eyes, his voice and his actions portray his feelings. Proudly and happily, he makes the world read his hard work.

For the readers it’s a joy to read the efforts of the writer. The reader feels and experiences what the writer has written. At the end the reader appreciates the hard work of the writer. This confirmation from the reader, for whom the whole process was undergone, gives the writer immense pleasure and satisfies his inner self.
