Reading Time: 6 minutes
Hello! Good to have you here!
It’s been some time since I’ve written about my writing eccentricities. My personal ones are as colorful, but I’ll save them for another day. They’re definitely not going anywhere.
Writing fiction is not just building a plot with characters. It’s getting under the skin of the story, fusing oneself with the elements, surrendering to the powerful current of thoughts and emotions.
A story has been compared to the human anatomy.
Plot is the bones, characters are the muscles, and prose is the flesh.

Shame is thy Second Name, Writer!
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Hey, why so glum? Oh, is it because you’re a Writer bum? Well, maybe you should stop beating that Writer Drum, and just drown yourself in a bottle of rum.
What!! Who you calling scum? I’m as dumb as you are for lounging in the Writer’s Slum.
Writers really are a funny lot…Whether it’s you, me, or Ben Apricot.
Never heard of him? Neither have I…And that’s how we all will probably die.
Unknown, Unrecognized, with dreams in our hearts, and faded stars in our eyes.

Writers are from MARS, Readers are from VENUS
Reading Time: 3 minutes
A writer and a reader are destined to bond over a plethora of words.
WORDS bring the two together, and initiate them into a close yet undefinable relationship. A writer’s purpose is incomplete without a reader. And a reader is just a reader by name if he or she has nothing to read.
Yet when it comes down to understanding one another, a writer and reader don’t seem to speak the same language.
It’s as if writers are from MARS, and readers are from VENUS.
HELL!! What’s with all the foul language?!!
Reading Time: 3 minutes
When languages were being developed, every aspect of verbal and written communication had to be carefully considered and drafted. Each language had to be complete within itself.
So the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY had to be taken care of in an adequate number of words. And since the UGLY could not be fairly conveyed with just a few negatively defined words, along came the evil SLANG and its wicked brother FOUL LANGUAGE. Keep on Reading!

WELCOME BACK to Part Two of Fifty Shades of a Writer.
If you missed Fifty Shades of a WRITER Part One, then you should READ IT HERE!
Humans harbor great potential and talent. They are able to manifest their ideas, opinions, and thoughts into REALISTIC DIMENSIONS. It’s this very ability that labels them as CREATIVE.
Yet creativity often leads to stereotypes, and the words ‘FIFTY SHADES’ can honestly vouch for this. These Two WORDS have been bound, gagged and thrown in a dark corner to bear the burden of their notorious image. Keep on Reading!
