I've liked reading, and I wanted to write something myself. +Never had an idea about what I wanted to write, I just wanted to write. Something that was mine. +It needn't be a story, doesn't even have to make much sense. I just want my thoughts to take shape +into words, into something which the future me, or others can read, something which hopefully +affects the reader in some way. It's about leaving a mark, not about being good or widely known. + +What I find satisfying is writing by hand as everything is quiet, and as long as I'm writing +something I'm interested in. With my favourite fountain pen - filled with black ink because its +viscosity is what enhances the pleasure, the feel in my hand, the sound - on my favourite spiral +notebook, with nice white pages, dumping all my thoughts onto the helpless piece of paper. + +## But, what do I want to write about? + +Everything around me influences me, more than I'd like to admit. Every now and then I have this +new experience, something new to talk about. I don't want to stick to a theme, that's not the +kind of person I am. But, I don't want my writings to get diluted with all the irrelevant +thoughts I have. Which takes me to the conclusion that, I have a lot of thoughts, and much +of them are worth writing about. But, there's nothing keeping them in check. I need a mechanism +to organize my thoughts, before I can go on and write something meaningful. + +### Journaling + +I've found that, keeping a journal or a diary is one of the best ways to organize your thoughts. +Writing your experiences in a diary helps you control your emotions, and makes your thoughts +clear.
