A Gentle Nudge
A gentle
nudge to all my unfortunate audience.
As a newspaper ’Middle’ writer once said, one has to cajole, caress and coax the teasing wispy feather-like words into shape for publication, either in print or on the web. Writing involves, for the occasional rambler like me, a humungous effort to churn-out a piece. All too suddenly, the thoughts converge from all corners on the mind's palimpsest as I learn the ropes of bloggery and crawl out of writer's block. Yes, it is an essay – in both its senses, as literary composition (value to be determined by the readers) and as an attempt. In those good ol’days, as the legend goes, the churning brought out the nectar and now it brings out a blogpost. Find it exaggerating?
