So long !!!

We all must have started with the same things, hence we all landed here. By here, I mean this college. No, wait, let me clarify this. By here, I mean, a technical college- going for a professional degree. Early in our ages, we all saw the importance of money. Some way or another knew how hard it was to meet the ends. The means dried up long before the ends. So, with this mindset we all buckled up to get admission in a technical college. All developed their minds for the analytical framework. For years going after the logic, analysis, rules, limits, syntax…

But what if I say now ‘I want to be a writer’. I know saying this sound both cocky and bold, but I yearn to not give up on my budding aspiration to be a writer! However, it is not in any way a reality. I've spent most my childhood focusing on math, music and computers, with English being a side-note when included. The closest I passed on writing is some positive feedback during creative exercises and a few classics on my own time. The books which I have read state nothing about the beauty of the language or understand the essence of the writing. They all state how to solve a problem, state limitations, to understand the logic...

If I had not been a mathematical person may be it would have been easier to understand the beauty of language. However, I am willing to accept a double burden and learn how to write... but how in the world can I start at 20 years of age? Everywhere I go, people seem to tell me things such about letting the creative juices flow, and just expressing how I see things. As a math-oriented person, this sounds like a bunch of garble by people who believe that anyone with a pen can write a novel. I do not believe this! I am certain there must be a way to orient your mind to the language and consistencies of assembling a novel. If you can start learning computer programming languages like Basic and HTML and advance to JavaScript and C++, surely there is a basic beginning point for someone who wants to someday become a writer. Some suggested start reading. The best thing to do is to read, not necessarily for pleasure, but to examine how successful writers have done it and then settle down and write. Get that first draft down; hopefully after a bit of planning ahead of time (although there are those who believe that planning is a waste of time). I tried that but it looks like I will have to train my mind to see beyond logic and facts and notice language and style of writing. I will find the means to survive and meet the ends even if the ends are ten years of preparation down the line!
