A Journey of a Thousand Miles .........

A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others.
--William Faulkner


There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
--William Somerset Maugham

I have always had this urge to write. To write something that entertains, provoke or flirts with the accepted line of thoughts! It has been some time now since I (like millions of others) have starting having my own blog. But have I managed to write anything that is readable? May be. May be not. So what else have I got to do to come "of age"?

Well since I have had experience with writing more often bad than good I guess I still lack observations and imagination as William Faulkner puts it.

Having read some very good blogs and books I always admired writers who keep me engrossed in their books or blogs for so long (sometimes 4-5 hours at a stretch)? So what else do I need? Is it my lack of ideas - good or bad? Is it just that I am still frightened and overwhelmed by the monstrous undertaking that is writing.

So to get over the fright I have penned this down. It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step right?! Right!
Now there it is! My first real go at writing??
