Is Writing Really For Me?

Writing, poetry and random scribbles to me, are all a form of art. There are countless numbers of un-discovered poets around the world not only because it may be hard for some to get noticed, but for many the problem is, they never pick up the courage to show their work.

The way music differs in terms of genres and styles, similarly writing does too. You may feel like what you write does not fit what the 'mainstream' poets/writers do, therefore you come to the self-made conclusion that it isn't really literature.

But there will always be someone out there who is looking for just the type of story that you write. If you are interested in writing and it's something you enjoy, pick up a pen and notebook and write. I don't think Shakespeare would have anticipated that his poetry and plays would be studied inside out in English classrooms worldwide, four hundred years after his death. When it comes to writing, there are many opportunities, you could enjoy story writing, poetry, or you might even have the hand to be a playwright!

The important thing to remember here is that, the only way to improve your writing and form your own unique style, is to actually start writing. Practice makes perfect.

Tip: Set a timer for 10 minutes and write as much as you can and whatever comes to your mind, on a blank sheet of paper. This really is not time consuming, read through what u have written and you never know, you might just find your world famous poem between the lines of your scribbles.

In my next post, I will be writing about the various platforms that you can display your work on.
Leave your comments and suggestions. I would love to hear from you :)
