This week’s entry was taken from my private blog page. The history behind the creation and continuous update of that site is quite simple and I might get to it, with time.
This one was titled “One Take, Not Revised”. It was written in 2014 so as to give some insight into my writing process. As the name implies, it was done in one take, without any revision of ideas. It probably should have been the first blog I published, but it was actually written a year after the page was “launched”. So it did not work out like that. Regardless, enjoy.
ONE TAKE, NOT REVISED.
One of the joys of a parent is seeing their child develop rapidly from the infant who does little but cry, not being able to express himself further, to a toddler who asks questions a lot. It shows that such kid is inquisitive and and curious to find out why things are the way they are. The parent often gets tired of the questions, either because they become too repetitive or because they have no real answers. At times it is because the parent does not have the answer.
Being the recluse that I sometimes am, I spend a lot of time pondering various things. These have brought up questions that I have tried to find reasoning(s) to. I can’t begin to outline all the questions but I can talk about one. It has to do with how I find what I blog about.
How do I do it? How do I find a topic and how do I fill pages with ideas? In reality, everything is more freelanced than rehearsed. I credit it to a brain that never stops working; one that overthinks things. It could start with a word during the day; if I’m lucky it’ll be a statement. I try to develop those into an idea that could be understood, then a sub-idea might pop in again and I have to find a place where it’ll fit within the theme that I’m working on.
It is difficult to pinpoint what makes the best of my blogs so far. Some are a result of prolonged pondering over ideas while others are just one-take outpouring of spontaneous thoughts. If that says anything at all, it’ll attest to the fact that I, like many or few, am quite uneasy to describe. I could be very difficult to understand while at the same time be the easiest person to relate with. Now, where am I going with his blog? I’m not exactly sure. This is just one of those ideas that spring up. Maybe it should have been my first blog.
