Writing in exchange for bread on the table
Some people say that I have it all - I disagree. I constantly
have to struggle with this love-hate relationship I have with
writing. I love reading, that's for sure. And I love to
write....about myself as and when I want to. But when I am
required to write about something like....say....how to change
the black oil in a car or how to pick the right motherboard for
your computer....I have to literally drag myself to the computer
and prompt my fingers to move.
This is the relationship I have with writing. It's because I
make a living out of churning out articles after
articles...sometimes completing up to 30 articles a day face to
face with a deadly deadline....it is not such a heavenly life
after all.
It's ironic that I spent a large part of my life looking for the
right thing to do. Something that excites me and challenges me.
Something that I WANT to do instead of being FORCED TO do. I
hate being forced into doing something but this is sometimes
called the 'REAL WORLD'. Even when you love doing something and
you start having people telling you HOW to write your articles,
or books, it begins to lose its initial appeal.
And yet, despite turning into a drudgery of kind, I continue to
write. Writing is what I do best. Because my husband would turn
to me in the dead of night, awakened by some kind of swearing
and the tap-tap-tap of my keyboard, he shakes his head and says,
"Gosh, you're still writing? Why?"
I hiss back. "Because I am paid to do this. Because I LOVE this.
It's my job. It's my life. This is what I am being paid to do,
you moron!"
With a chuckle, knowing me, he turns his back on me and goes
back to sleep. Smart ass!
While over the years, many other opportunities came a-knocking
on my door and I wondered if I would do better if I did
something else. Oh, I would still write but I will write my own
stuff. My own novel. My own articles. My own blog. Whatever...my
own diary. But no one else will ever get the chance to tell me
how to write the things I write - NEVER!!!
And yet, surprisingly, I turn my back
on those opportunities
because I know I love to write. Like I said. I write for a
living and secretly love it. If I started selling insurance or
doing real estate, it would be like...so superficial. So
temporary. But when I write...I write well and I do it quickly,
fast and very efficiently. And I sometimes feel proud of
myself...although my fingers and eyes were throbbing like an
earthquake waiting to happen.
Writing is a passion. If you have a passion for writing, you'll
start writing passionately and whatever comes out is a
masterpiece in its own right. Every single article that I've
ever written, I am proud of them. I treat them like my little
babies. I've lost count of the number of 'babies' I have today
but all those articles that I have written, they are a part of
me.
And I have learnt how to write efficiently and quickly without
sounding like a train running out of steam. Get going, get
going, get going. Come on, go on with it, write, write, write.
And then after you've completed the article, go back and dissect
them and inject some botox into them. If you stick around the
first few sentences and try to get it perfect right from the
start, you'll never complete the article.
And with this secret (which is not a really a secret to begin
with), I am now making my life as a writer.
Do I still love writing after spending the last 7 years writing
on topics that are completely dry and arid to me? Well....I love
to hate it ...and sometimes I hate to love it.
I believe I will continue writing until I am lying on my
deathbed....breathing my last few breaths....I can imagine
myself saying, "Honey, get me my keyboard...I want to be buried
with it."
Once a writer, always a writer.
Evidence: I took a total of 3 mins 22 seconds to write this
whole article.
