Someone wise once said:
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
There is a paradox for you if there ever was one.
Tag: Talent
It is often said that writing is a combination of talent and hard work. Some say it is talent that is more important, while others say it is the hard work that pays. Without going into this unending debate, I will let you answer this question for yourself, “What do you think is more important : talent, or hard work?”
Being talented in very simple terms means that you were born to write. You have the gift of the muse, and whatever you might do for a living, you simply have to write something every now and then. To some extent, all of us have that gift, or at least most of us. This is the most probable reason why blogging has become so popular today.
If you, however, hope to write regularly – for your blog or professionally – I sincerely doubt that just being talented will serve you.And, If you still believe that you are a born writer, you need not read any further.
Good Writing, unlike many other things, never goes out of fashion – neither do good writers. Jeffrey Archer, or Lord Jeffrey Archer, as he is now known, is on a visit to India – his first official one. He had never toured India before because, as he said, he had never received an invitation to do so before. I am glad he did now.
Living in a small town has many upsides, and anything that has an upside is sure to have a downside. The downside of living in a small town is that small towns usually do not form a part of any celebrity tours. It’s no different this time, and Jeffrey Archer will not be coming to my town.
So, the only thing I can do is watch him on TV, and I did that yesterday. From the advice he gave to the young writers in the crowd, he seemed like a very practical man. But, I did not agree with everything he said on the show.
