I LOVE MY ARTICLES SAME WAY
I LOVE MY COCKTAILS…
I personally go through
articles and at times wonder if it is actually worth reading another article or
not from certain readers…It's like when you have a really
bad cocktail…would you try another sample? Unless you have faith in the bar tender?
My lectures always taught
me, when you write something, always prepare yourself for the comments and take
them in be positive, even if they are negative because those comments will
shape your writing… But not all people where born writers… those who listen to
their critics are the same ones who tend to move on in their quest to be best
sellers, others write more to improve on their skills, some are just born
writers…and others….it’s just another day at work…
CRITIC LISTENERS….
The people who write the
best books, novels, articles and so on tend to have some force behind them.
Listening to both negativity and positivity tend to improve the kind of
material that you provide to people. Hence we tend to see these same people
succeeding in life and end up getting recognition, put out bestselling books
and awards. Some even get their books scripted into movies…
SKILL IMPROVEMENT
Others love writing…they
write and write and write and even keep the information to themselves… smart
choice…well not really, those are introvert characteristics because eventually
one day, their stories will be discovered even if its 20 years after you’ve
been put 6ft under. On the other hand, there are people who have a talent in
writing i.e. the PR writers out their…as for them, I’d say that’s an acquired
talent of interest…
BORN WRITERS
There are those who find
joy in just writing. It acts as a way of consolation and a channel to air out
what they feel in a descriptive manner. You can tell one’s passion form how
they write something or express something straight from their mind.
WORK… L
Others just write because they
have no option…CAUTION…this will kill you. Most
people who write with this reason tend to be bitter when they get feedback that
they did not expect… they always want to impress people and always think that
they are the best in their field yet they produce nothing but TRASH…
I’m sure we all know of
such characters; be it international, local or personal…thinking outside the
box, I think writing is like been a chef or a PROFESSIONAL bar tender!! ARTISTRY
A professional bar tender
knows how to make spectacular cocktails that may knock your socks off….we have
those who just sell beer because they have no choice and get frustrated and all
cranky at the end of the night due to lack of ambition and anyway tomorrow will
be the same thing they have to do all over again (WORK), those born with a
cocktail mixer in their hands(BORN WRITERS), those who experiment the most
craziest mixes and keep trying till they get it right (SKILL IMPROVEMENT) and
finally those who try and make the concoctions and offer people a sample, get
the feedback and improve on them…hence getting well world known cocktails that
drive everyone wild (CRITIC LISTENER)
I love reading my articles
same way I love my Cocktails…. creative,
attractive and leaving me in crave for more…not some cynical amateur
writing that needs to be refined and the creator takes offense…
Sorry I just hate self
centered EGOTISTIC WRITERS…
