Wecome to Silent Writer's Porch

Hey,
How are you ?
Welcome to my Blog.
I am not an active blogger.
Before this, I have had some posts on but, I decided to take it all out and star up FRESH again...I felt that my posts were just too boring.
Even I hated it...
Of course most of the time it is of personal opinion basis but, there was no spice... nothing that would trigger the interest...
So, thank you for stopping by.
Please do leave a comment....

Points taken from Neil Gaiman's Commencement speech !


Career plan OR List
No idea of what ure doing is GREAT
Test the balance of the POSSIBLE
Ask questions - write
Experience
What you want to do?
Your goal! The path that you take either TOWARDS or AWAY?
Learn to write by writing
Learn to fail. Be thick skinned.
Don't write just for money.
Face your problem.
Stop saying yes and learn to say NO.
Problem with success is that the world will conspire to stop the things that you do because you are successful.
Make mistakes- means you did something good/bad.
Life is hard, things go wrong.
When things get tough, MAKE GOOD ART.
Do what you can do best!
Make your art.
Start with copying. Good stories come after sounding like many others.
By the end you will find yourself and tell your story.
We learn more when mistakes are done.
People get hired bcz somehow they get hired.
You get work however you get work.

Freelance.
2 out of 3 is fine.
People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you're on time.
People will forgive your lateness if they like you and your work is good.
You don't have to be good if you're on time and it's always a pleasure to hear from you.

Best piece of advice by Stephen King to Neil Gaiman
"This is really great, you should enjoy it."

Don't be too worried.
Let go and enjoy the ride.
We don't know what the rules of today are.
Be creative as you can.
Pretend to be someone who could do it.
Be wise, bcz the world needs more wisdom.
If you cannot be wise, jst pretend that you are someone wise and act just like they would.
Make mistakes, make interesting mistakes, make glorious mistakes, break rules...
MAKE GOOD ART!!!

( Please ignore the spelling... I kinda used the 'sms' language a little)
