Apparently there’s a blog tour
going on and I didn’t even know. I seem to be lost in my own world these days.
Tsatsu (@_tsatsu) is the one who passed the baton to me and I had to go tracing the genesis
of this tour. I should have known Ozionn (@Ozionn) had something to do with it.
What Am I Working On?
I've got two blogs. A poetry one and this one, a satirical one. I’ve not written a poem in a
while but I’ve got a few satirical post cooking. So much crazy stuff going on
these days that I’m spoilt for choices on the satirical front. So many options
that I can’t seem to choose. For me poetry is much harder to write than Satire.
I need a heightened emotion to write poetry.
What Makes My Work Unique?
I’m not sure if my work is
unique. There nothing new under the sun. What makes my work relatable to
however is that I don’t force it. If I’ve got nothing to write then I don’t. If
I don’t like what I’ve written I send it to the bin. I don’t bother trying to
patch it up or revamp it. I either like it or I don’t. It’s either good enough
or it isn’t. I don’t bother doing midway. No grays, just black or white.
Why I Write?
It’s an itch that must be
scratched. Have you had an itch somewhere on your back that you can’t reach?
The frustration! That’s how I feel when I get in the mood to write and for some
reason I don’t have the opportunity or time to write what’s in my mind. It just
keeps bugging me till I finally write it down then I can heave a sigh of
relief.
Writing is a means of relieving
pent up emotions. When I write an angry poem I find that my anger dissipates.
I’d like to say something noble
like, “I write to cause social change”, but that would be a lie. I write mainly
for myself. I’m a bit of an egotists. Nothing inflates my ego more that getting
positive reviews for what I write. If I vent my emotions about something that
bothers me and it causes some positive change in society that’s a byproduct
that goes to feed my ego. I’m only looking to change myself, to be the best
version of me and if that somehow brings the best in others then that’s ok. I not naïve enough to think I can change the
world. I can only change myself and hope others do the same.
How My Writing Process Works?
I just keep writing till I want
to stop. I try not to be bounded by any strict method. Oh, I'm very lazy at proof reading my own work. Typical hypocrite. I see mistakes in other people's work but never seem to see them in mine. If you see any errors, just leave a note in the comment section.
One Person I’ll Pass This on to?
Terry!! He blogs at economistaTerry Delves and for some reason tends to
change his twitter handle often. His current one is
I'd like to pass it on to Eyram (@Sweyram). She's my favorite lazy blogger but her next blog post will probably come out when i'm 50.
