Yes, like working on any art form, it is a process.
To tell you the truth, I never knew this is how it would unfold for me in all my years of life on earth.
I once remembered many years ago a close friend from New York, named Maxine, telling me I should write.
She had told me that the way I shared things with her, writing would be a natural progression.
"I do not think so," was my answer, trying to be humble as ever.
For quite some time I considered myself as someone who did not have something to say or a truth to unearth.
However, within a few years, her words rang true.
It has taken me decades to grow and develop this realization.
Constructive criticism or feedback from others has played an invaluable part in my learning experience.
The world of computers, the internet, and my education and knowledge in publishing and website development have afforded me this continuing opportunity.
However, I do not look for validation from others or for a prize.
I am happy writing. It fills me with sheer joy, like how an artist feels inside while expressing.
The satisfaction I get from the mere act of writing is good enough for me.
And I like writing very short narratives that can be completed very quickly.
Also, maybe a compilation of my writings can be developed as a booklet or an ebook if I choose to do so.
This is a personal hobby that has brought me immense delight. It keeps me preoccupied and my brain engaged at this stage of my life. It is a pleasure to share these exploits with you.
For I use 'my' writings to give back some of the insights I learned from my 'teachers.'
