Comments on: Writing a story at KMC http://www.nikhilpahwa.com/2005/12/08/writing-a-story-at-kmc/ In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm; in the real world, all rests on perseverance Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:17:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: The Unrest Cure http://www.nikhilpahwa.com/2005/12/08/writing-a-story-at-kmc/#comment-153 The Unrest Cure Sun, 11 Dec 2005 17:01:00 +0000 http://www.mixedbag.in/2005/writing-a-story-at-kmc/#comment-153 Smits: That's a very common exercise, while writing. I think it's the lack of time to write that does it. Post the stories, na. Or something similar. Hmm...never thought about it from women's pov. True, I think. This also reminds me of a forward I got recently about two women going into a shopping mall selling men. Will mail it to you. Makes one wonder about why they'd want freedom in the first place. :P acrosticbard: does your handwriting suck? mine does. It bothers me everytime I see the way I've written words on paper. That I'm a hobbyist graphologist doesn't help. "Hey! Am I lying to myself?"; "Hey! I'm becoming sarcastic, now?" Self analysis is such a bitch. I've never been able to understand the writing on paper thing either. I type much faster that I write, and without looking at the keyboard - which means that my mind moves on to the next thought sooner, unlike in case of writing where it hangs on until I finished with the 'penning it down'. That makes me conscious of the fact that I am writing, and kills the process. Sometimes, icons on the screen do the same thing. Shreya - I'll just post some crap I wrote a couple of days ago. Bah.
