Rusty has made my rusted grey cells think a bit ...so here I am asking myself why I do what I do...I am supposed to put my thoughts on writing ...so here goes .Ive tried to be as spontaneous as I can be .
Why Write ?
Its like breathing ..It makes me feel that I am alive . I write as its the most natural, spontaneous thing to do...It eases a clogged mind..Its instant gratification , like ice cream ..above all its an addiction . It helps me keep in touch with my core self and gives form to the various facets within me . It creates a picture that exists only in my mind ..Its like a waterfall , where words just burst forth creating a sequence , sometimes drawn by an invisbile force ..Its like what Keats said - That which is creative must create itself !
When to write ?
In the loo, while asleep ...no, I am not joking. Writing is just not putting words to paper or screen ..its also putting words to an abstract thoughts that keep raising their heads . I believe that there is no fixed time to write ...just keep your mind awake and let the words flow
What to write ?
Truth is stranger than fiction ! Sometimes its the truth thats hidden deep in the subconscious thats more interesting than stories.. Yet , I write about life ..the frailities and the foibles, the small ,insignificant experiences , the joy of discovery , people who matter and who didnt, memories that refuse to go away and places that are etched forever in our mind and opinions that you want others to hear .. I paint the picture thats in my mind at that point of time ..
How to write ?
Spontaneously . There is always a better word for every thought and expression , but sometimes the joy of writing goes away in just searching for the right word. Its like a dream man or woman of your life ..they dont exist ..I like words that have a feel about them, that create imagery ..that evoke feelings . Mere adjectives dont mean a thing ..Keep it simple and short .
Who to write for ?
For myself ideally . But sometimes you need readers and therefore for all those who appreciate my thoughts and my writing ...
Do I tag ?
I dont know...maybe there are readers out there who may want to pick this up..but I dont feel like forcing it down anyone

Thanks lady!!! Hmm... glad u didnt tag anyone...
Yeah, I agree with you on the last part - who to write for. Sometimes, one needs an audience, to be appreciated. Makes the entire experience much more worthwhile isnt it?
Good God! Yours and mine match to such a large extent!
Yeah, I want to add an additional one to the list (completely fantastic) - I want to do time travel and meet all those people who made a difference to this universe, check out my favorite places as to how they looked then!
Yes..writing is an art but its also a flow of communication ..you have to communicate with someone na ..
Time travel..good idea .but i will be content to travel in real time as of now
Your answers are brilliant and honest. I learnt many things from this post. You have the potential to write something, just start thinking :-) Keep smiling
I may pick it sometime
Thanks Pijush..Ive been writing since I was 13 years old..its my first passion ..but unfortunately no time to pursue it ..pls pick up the tag
Wonderfully written :-)
I liked the way you have expressed yourself on these points ....
Without sounding too ignorant, can you explain how tagging works?
Thanks Sigma - sometimes its difficult to express the most simple things ..I found this a bit difficult initially .
Solitaire -I have just explained in response to your earlier comment in http://afewfavourites.blogspot.com
