First Entry

The first few words usually are the hardest to write. The writer has to think of the message he plans to convey then the best way to express it. Easy enough until you actually start writing. "How to begin?" "What should i write first?" "How do i capture the interest of many?" "How do i lead my readers from one point to another?" - a few questions that would plague the writer endlessly until he/ she has finally grasp the words that best fits the equation.

As a writer I have often stared at a blank page for hours before the perfect first lines are written down and the story can finally begin. For the past months I have not written anything substantial, nothing that I can call good just because I couldn't formulate a simple, good, catching first line. The beginning is always the hardest, after getting through that hurdle it's almost a breeze. I find that once i have my intro down my hands just won't stop writing, everything just flows out of me .

How you begin is very important, a good beginning can lead to a good middle and end, but this takes talent, thought, experience and perseverance.

Life is no different from writing. The beginning of something can mean so much in the story you would want to tell. It's true that a good start is important, but it is also essential to remember that everyone controls their life story, it is the twists and turns that makes the plot interesting, these twists and turns can also determine your end, it's just as simple as making the right choices, then again choosing the right path has not always been easy and never will be easy. No one lives a boring life, the choices we make makes sure of this and at the end of every choice there's sure to be a new lesson learned. This is life.

This being my first entry i wish to convey that here i begin a new chapter of my life. I've written down the story of my youth, it's time to write further as I take one step after another through a new door that has opened to me. Through it I know i will face much more of those twists and turns, I'm sure I will fall down some of the times, if I'm lucky, but I know I will get up again and continue on. I've already written the first few lines, it's time to write on...
