A writer… am I?

Almost 7 years in writing… non-fictional writing, commercial writing, and even technical writing. What has it done to the writer in me?



  • The muse has forsaken me and my creativity has almost dried up.

  • Where writing was the thing to do whenever I had time, now I have to make New Year resolutions (which are mostly made to be broken) for indulging in creative writing more often.

  • Writing has become more about “Will the readers like it?” and less about “This is what I’ve been thinking.”

  • Even on platforms as informal as a blog or a tweet, I find it difficult to abandon the stiff-necked capitalization, punctuation and formal tone. I have even stuck to standards in using a bulleted list for this post and not a numbered one!

  • And, I feel compelled to write a conclusion and make this post sound complete. But just for the sake of defiance, I will not conclude…

P.S.: I have typed this out in MS Word, I’m now reviewing it, and I’m even contemplating on getting a second opinion, before I post it on my blog!
