Recipe

Dear Reader,

I've been a facing some writer's block lately. And hence I was determined to write today!! This post has been way, way, waaaaayyyyy too painstaking.

It’s been one of those weeks when writing is like mowing the backyard by hand in the hot sun with a plastic spoon. Or something folksy like that.

I have felt thick as a brick all week, but I keep squeezing that noggin of mine, trying to get the words to come out, coming up with nothing but brick juice at times.

So here's some part of my brick juice!!

A recipe to make a good writer:

Loads of knowledge and a point of view
Patience and perseverance to pursue
A bag full of words to articulate
An eye for detail and some perspective

A thought that ignites the fire in you
A dash of humor to make your day when you are blue
Some creativity to add those twists and turns
To keep you reading, to make you yearn

Edit the work with a magnifying glass
Eliminate the crass and give it some class
A proof-reader, a critique and a mentor
And most of all, a dedicated and an honest reader
