Before the feeling cools down
Don't procrastinate.
Saying this to myself.
And everyone out there..
Okay, since I began to write blogs, the moment something touches my heart, or makes me think, smile, or just stare, I would observe and reflect upon it. But at the same time, I try to pen that down as soon as possible.
Because I feel like writing is like drinking tea. It should be drunk when it's hot. Once it cools down the taste won't be the same anymore.
And so, writing down the thoughts…
I remember the moment I feel something; that feeling, that experience, is very fresh. And thoughts flow like a fountain. As Wordsworth says, poetry shouldn't be forced. Here too, it happens very naturally.
But when we procrastinate or delay reflecting upon an event, the impact this time is lesser.
You try to relive the experience,
Taste the same joy
Or sorrow,
But the depth isn't that much.
And at times, we might add something
That never happened.
Called "artificial" construction.
Another example could be reviewing films. When you see a film, after watching it, you have a lot of perceptions to share, and the scenes stay in your mind. But if you don't write that then and there, and decide to start after a few days, I guarantee the experience we must have had and the review we share will have some kind of gap — like a half-baked cake. Another danger here is that at times, it's not one individual's review alone. His or her ideas might have been affected and altered by others' views on the film.
I've been suffering due to this for the last few days. Recently, due to work, even when my heart tells me to write things down the moment I experience such heightened events, I am not able to do so, I delay .
And later, when I try to go back there, sometimes I am able to achieve fifty percentage. But also, sometimes I can't even remember what I should even write about.
And as a result, I've failed to pay respect to my emotions and haven't been able to put them into words as well.
So hereafter, I will try to be doing as I earlier did all these days. Even if that could be pointers, it should be given attention and penned down.
A small reminder for all the writers bloggers or any creators out there !
