Let me apologise for the hiatus. What has happened is that, carried away by the recent burst of energy, I foolishly set myself the goal of posting five stories every week. The pressure of impending work smothered what little creativity there was.
So I deleted the Goals Gadget on Tuesday. It has taken three days for me to recover from the weight of aspiration- but still, at last, here I am, no damage done, though not none the worse for the wear.
Be happy.
(By the way, if you are interesting in writing, read this about Kurt Vonnegut. It is actually about Vonnegut's remarks on why we want drama and go to stories to find that, but it could help you write better. Just remember this: the darkest night is before the dawn, and there is a silver lining to every cloud. The graph is cool)
No problem. If not five then write as many as you can.

[Don't blame your aspirations because you have less time--My Quote]
Definitely you shouldn't have fixed a quantitative goal for a creative work. It will pressurise and may even kill creativity.
ReplyDeleteBest way to discipline a creative work is to commit oneself to certain hours of creative work everyday without any expectations on quality or quantity of outcome.
I ascribe to what Balajhi says.

Reading this makes me enthusiastic.
yes, i realise this only now. Thank you, balajhi and kartikey.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think there is any reason to set lesser goals.
ReplyDeleteI don't think what Balajhi and I say is some kind of a lesson for you. It's a thought for everybody.
Regards.
Balajhi - you are absolutely correct.
