Five Minutes Everyday

Its been a long long hiatus from blog world (from writing blogs that is, I still very actively read blogs!) .. and I have resolved to break the spell by starting to write again.
Something, or anything in fact - but more regularly. As the blog says - its Never too Late!
I have always loved to write - I love words, I love how we can play with them- or how they play with us!
Its a wonderful channel to direct your energies, your emotions to - no boundaries , no limits.
No thoughts are forbidden, no ideas are impossible, no rants are ignored- everything that comes to mind is welcome.
Its therapy!
Having ranted that - I sometimes don't know what to write.
As has been the case so far.
Am lazy sometimes, and other times its no reason at all.
In a book I read some time back - the author had said about writing her blog - 'you have to need it.'
I miss that gasping need to write - the feeling where you have to write NOW!
I want to write, but what?
When I read a good book or a good blog, I find myself wishing - 'I want to be writing like this..'
I dream of writing a book myself, of becoming a writer - but you see, I am already hurdled by the writer's block!

Some things come easily to you, some you have to work on - you have to indicate it to Coelho's universe so that it can conspire in helping you to achieve it.

And for this love of writing , I have decided to take up an exercise.
This, has invoked that need to write in me. Stoked the fire.
As I was reading this book , on my train to work , I just wanted to start writing - then and there. It was a desperation to that crazy brink where you just have to do it!
I dreaded reading any further - lest I ruin the joy of discovering yet another inspiration to write, only to helplessly see that urge fade away by the time I can actually put my thoughts to paper.

This, I have promised myself, will give me a blog post everyday.
