Time After Time

I believe that writers are artist, because they — as many other artists do — dedicate their time to construct something from scratch. At first, I treat writing as a self-indulgent. I would go home as soon as possible from school, then stuck in front of my desktop until my mother called me for dinner. Now as I grow older, I find it hard to dedicate my time to write one chapter. To be honest I haven't finished writing a single book ever since I enrolled in college. I have re-written one of my novel for almost five times, but still did not manage to finish it. That's when I realize that I've to take my writing into a more serious level, and dedicate my whole time for my writing. Oh no!

Yes, yes, and yes... I'm not kidding. You need a dedicated time just to sit down in front of your Microsoft Words, without worrying about your laundry, your grocery, your housework, and another annoying stuffs that always pop up as your routine. It's either go back to your routine, or write. The choice is all yours.

Writers are rare. I often find myself isolate from the other side of the world while writing. I ignore my friends who have been nudging my MSN. I abandon my heaping projects. I am becoming very selfish when I start writing, when I feel the burning passion of writing. But the good thing is, when you start making sacrifices, you'll then grow to love your artwork. Your dedication to your writing, which departed from something that was against common senses, has become an integral part of your life. And I, for once, hope that we'll somehow arrive in that point. Someday, someday.
