  4. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Many thanks!|

      We are eternally grateful! We just love it when people find solace in our content.

      Regarding your question –
      Firstly, it is quite a common problem faced by many writers. So, don’t feel odd or isolated but just consider it a necessary step. After I choose a topic to express my thoughts on, it is the medium which takes over. In case of an essay, I always love starting with an apt quote/ a pressing question or a deep anecdote. In case of a story, a descriptive statement works wonder. This could be a physical description of the physical surroundings or a description of a character’s thoughts. I find this gives me immense clarity.

      Another thing, writing should not be considered as a task. It shouldn’t be something that has to be completed by a deadline. Though not always possible, do try and enjoy the process too. Let your thoughts wander, let them lead you astray. As a writer a creative imagination is a boon we all share, please don’t think of it as a bane.

      Last of all, we are always here for each and every query. Stay blessed !

  5. This is my first time visit at here and i am truly happy to read everthing at alone place.|
