Creative Writing! EUREKA! EUREKA!
Reading Time: 5 minutesYou’ve probably heard the Eureka story. You know Archimedes AHA moment, and him jumping out of the bathtub and running around naked.

Don’t Judge a Writer by his Books
Reading Time: 3 minutesNo two people are identical in this world.
Not even identical twins are completely identical in their looks, natures, or intellects.
Look MOM! I’m a WRITER!
Reading Time: 3 minutesRemember when you were growing up?
Oh! Too far back to remember?
(OUCH!!)
Well…as a child you were at some point or the other looking for attention and praise. And the people you most sought it from were probably your parents.

The Dialogue between a Writer and a Writer’s Ego
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen in Rome do as the Romans do. (What do they actually do?)
When in Writer’s Land do as the Writers do. (Ok…this is even weirder)
Firstly, I don’t think there’s any Writer’s Land. Secondly, I doubt that there’s any code of conduct or any set customs that writers follow. Writers can be categorized under the Writer Tag, but do they actually fit into a group with common qualities and characteristics?
Suppose we round up about fifty different writers, lock them in a very large room, and give them about three hours to come up with a one thousand word article on ‘the most significant day of my life’. How do you think that would end? Keep on Reading!
5 WAYS to WAKE, SHAKE & BAKE the WRITER in you!
Reading Time: 3 minutesAs a writer, one encounters many twists and turns, not only in the stories one writes, but also in one’s personal writing journey. A writer isn’t a person who just sits at a desk and writes from 9 to 5. A writer is a person who has no fixed timings, and harbors the capability to stand, sit, or even levitate anywhere to get the writing job done.
Creating alternative worlds, and portraying realistic characters, places, objects, and emotions isn’t a job for the faint-hearted. WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHO, WHY, and HOW are some of the questions that have to be answered with conviction during the drafting of a story. Readers are an intellectual species, and they definitely want to be treated with respect.
If you try to pull a fast one by just throwing together some random ideas, and then dressing them up in some fancy words, you’re asking for a punch in the face. Keep on Reading!
Overusing words while writing: 5 times you should stop and think
Reading Time: 4 minutesFinding words to use in your writing shouldn’t be such a difficult task, considering that there are about a quarter of a million distinct English words to choose from. However, when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of writing, many writers tend to form a cesspool of certain favorite words. These words aren’t overly grand or alluring, yet they are sprinkled lavishly, and reappear after every few lines or paragraphs. Is the intense love for these words so great that the bewildered writer just can’t shake him or herself free from the throes of passion? Keep on Reading!
