Writing

A point every writer— good or bad, faces in their life is when they don't know what to write about. Ha! As astonishing it sounds, horrifically it's true. Also, technology plays a very important role here. A writer of the time who used his mighty pen and paper was the writer this techno-addicted world cannot possibly create. Ofcourse, probabilities sustain. As a pen-and-paper writer, the chances of making typos emerged every once in a while which is sporadically found with the techie writers. The technology actually becomes a helping hand for the techie writers by correcting the needful everywhere. While the pen-and-paper writers wasted a lot of papers that headed the floor and soon, the trashcan, all the techie ones did was hit a few buttons and it's off to the Recycle Bin. The advantage pen-and-paper writers had was they could open up their crumbled up papers again to use a good sentence or word while the techie writers just end up clicking the close button of their Notepads leading to no drafts. As an opinionated bot, I regret being a techie writer. I'd rather go to the time when the pen-and-paper writers were born and write between them. If I'm told to write even a few lines on a pen and paper today, I'd end up making a whole mess out of it with different handwriting all over the page. I don't even remember how my hand writes, all I remember is how it types. I wish the outcomes turn out to be good enough and not affect me negatively someday. Being a techie writer or pen-and-paper writer isn't the point. The point is the execution of thought or the thought process and as far as that is happening, write. As much as you want. As much as you can.
