The Joys and Sorrows of Being a Writer (A Personal Take)

"Reading and weeping opens the door to one’s heart, but writing and weeping opens the window to one’s soul." ---M. K. Simmons

I absolutely love writing. In fact, I've been writing since grade school - from personal journals to essays to short stories. It started as a hobby and had remained so until last year when I decided to embark on the uncertain and ever competitive world of freelancing. Since then, it had become my bread and butter.

It's only been a year and a half since I become a freelance writer/blogger/part-time copywriter/internet marketing newbie. And it's fun. A whole lot of fun. For some, writing sounds like a boring job because you do nothing but write. Most people even criticize it and say that it's not even a real job. Instead of lashing out a good argument as to how much the contribution of a writer to the print and television media, the internet and to the world or the generous income opportunity it entails, all I can say is this: it's not for everyone.

Others just don't understand the kind of satisfaction you get when you manage to produce not just a good read but a great one. They probably don't know the amazing feeling of getting lost in a world full of swirling and swinging words that only you can understand. Writing is more than just art. It's a way of life.

Okay, what I really mean is: unless you put yourself in my shoes and walk a mile in it, bug off and let me be. I didn't comment nor I care on how boring your routine-based and highly uninteresting job is or how low your fixed salary is so stay out of my goddamn business.

Now, as a writer, I have my fair share of joys and sorrows. There are good days and there are bad days. The good days are when I find myself getting motivated and inspired that I can finish three articles in an hour or two in a single sitting. Good days are also when my productivity level is on an all-time high that I refuse to waste a single minute for procrastination.

The bad days, on the other hand, are the ones when I'm at my worst - procrastinating, demotivated and have no idea on what to write. Writer's block sucks! And sometimes, it's information over load more than anything. I'm telling you, these days are way too many. They often give me the nagging and guilty feeling of not doing anything. Since I'm self-employed, my income depends on my productivity. So you should know where I'm coming from.

Like right now, I have three articles that need to be written tonight, a short story for my new blog to be finished, and a novel to be continued. And I'm not doing any of that at the moment. I'm blogging, remember? What's more, I probably won't do any of them tonight. They could wait tomorrow. Did I tell you that I'm such a procrastinator? Well, now you know.

Anyway as a writer, I don't want to limit myself in a single genre and form. I don't want to write non-fiction and niche-based articles, e-books and reports alone. I want to venture out, to be a multi-faceted writer. My dream is to become a successful fictional writer - at least in the kindle world - like that of the likes of John Locke, Suzanne Collins and James Patterson with Sci-Fi/Thriller as my genre.

I'm actually in the process of writing my first novel on this genre. It's just that I can't seem to get the inspiration to write three scenes a time or how to keep the plot on the right direction. I'm a good writer with lots of potential. At least, I know I am. The dialogues are fine. The direction where my mind and imagination is going is the problem. The plot would start off real good then it would become "What the fuck?"

In fact, in one of my unfinished short stories, my lead character was written as putting her daughter to sleep, to being called by her mother, to seeing her father holding a bloodied knife with a dead man at his feet, to being convinced by her parents to not call the police so they can bury the body themselves. It may sound as an interesting story line, but really, it sucked. Why? (1) I had no definite plot in mind (2) I was just making the scenes as I go along and (3) I really had no idea what I was writing.

But writing is not all "sorrows." I mean aside from the writer's block and sometimes stressful nature of writing, it has given me a lot of "joys." It lets me express myself freely and let my thoughts out without forcing anyone to listen. It allows me to let go of my emotional baggage, if any, and acts as my sounding board when I need someone to talk to. Did I tell you that writers are sentimental, eccentric and emotional in nature? Again, now you know.

Another joy is that writing allows me to explore new horizons and open new avenues. It makes me learn, learn and learn. You can't write without learning. Learning is a part of writing. It makes you a credible and efficient writer no matter what your genre is. Plus, knowing that you've provided something of value, engaged your readers, and sent an informative message across - Now, that's priceless.

Bound (A Cassidy Swann Novel)

Prologue

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have." -- Abraham Lincoln

Sector 5, West Industries

    Maria was running as fast as she could. She had to get away from that area. She needed to. But she’d been at it for what? An hour now? Or two? She couldn’t remember anymore. All she knew was she needed a safe place to hide.

   But where? The street was deserted. It was dark, save for the feeble light coming from a couple of lamp posts scattered loosely on the area. The buildings on either side weren’t helping either. They showed no sign of any living entity.

   She slowed down a bit. Her body was getting tired. It was already telling her to rest. Maybe she could find shelter in one of the buildings for a while, think of an escape plan, regain her strength, then keep going.

  But as much as she wanted to, she couldn’t. If she stopped now, they’d get her. And she would turn up dead on the news tomorrow. She couldn’t allow that to happen. Not tonight. She promised her son that she’d join him for dinner.

  Jacob, honey, wait for Mommy. I’ll be home soon, I promise. With her 5-year old son in mind, Maria ran faster, using up the energy left from her.

  Then she heard it. The sound of passing vehicles, honking. Filled with people, she hoped. She turned on the alleyway on the right, doubled up her speed, and followed where the sound was coming from.

  She's right. At the other end of the alleyway was a buzzing street. She ran some more. Catching her breath, she stopped on her tracks when she reached it. She heaved a sigh of relief. She’s safe.

  Just as she was about to take her first step to safety, two strong hands grabbed her from behind, muffling her screams with a cloth pressed on her mouth.

A Movie Geek's Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

When a reboot on the original blockbuster trilogy, Spider-Man, was announced and the first trailers hit the big screens, the idea wasn't given a positive response by fans and movie geeks - including me. The Amazing Spider-Man was tagged as the unnecessary reboot, especially since the original movie version was already established and well-loved by the public. Plus the fact that a 3rd sequel was expected by the viewing public. Besides, who needs Andrew Garfield when you already have Tobey Maguire?

But this Garfield starrer proved to be an "amazing" and entertaining film complete with comedic and emotional   touches that endure you to the characters. The reboot received general favorable reviews from critics, with Rotten Tomatoes giving the film a fresh 75% approval rating.

Now, the plot of The Amazing Spider-Man is pretty much the same with the first Spider-Man film. It follows Peter Parker as an outcast high schooler who, as a child, was entrusted to his Uncle Ben and Aunt May by his parents. While the original film didn't concentrate on the back story of young Peter, the reboot did. It revisited the night his parents left him and gave a subtle hint on what his father was working on before he disappeared. 

Fast-forward to his teenage years, Peter Parker was torn between his struggle in being an outcast and searching for answers about the disappearance of his parents. Adding to that is  his infatuation to his classmate Gwen Stacy, (a.k.a. the only love interest of Spidey throughout the film) played by Emma Stone. Yep, Gwen Stacy. Not Mary Jane Watson. 

For the benefit of those who are not fans of the Marvel comics, Gwen Stacy was originally the first love of Peter Parker before the introduction of Mary Jane. Well, until the Green Goblin killed her. Though technically, she died due to the sudden stop (Peter webbed her leg to catch her) of her high-speed fall which broke her neck.

Okay, now back to the film. So amidst the lovey-dovey between Peter and Gwen comes the bromance between Peter and Dr. Curt Connors (a.k.a. the top geneticist in the city working for Oscorp, who also happens to be Spidey's father's fellow scientist, and later, the main antagonist on the film), played by Rhys Ifans. Threesome, anyone?

The film comes to a head when Connors, in his attempt to engineer a revolutionary regeneration serum to help regrow limbs and human tissue, transformed into a monster Lizard and starts wreaking havoc in the city. That's when the real battle begins which, in my opinion, ended up pretty lame. I was expecting that Connors will die. But no, he didn't. Instead, he redeemed himself and turned himself up to the authorities.


So what happened to Spidey's and Gwen's love affair? Well, Gwen's father, Captain George Stacy made Peter promise to keep his daughter safe by staying away from her before he died. Peter initially heeds, but later hints that he may continue to see her after all. 

My verdict? Over all, the reboot provided darker and likably cheeky characters that you'll surely love which, in my opinion, makes it more enjoyable and fun to watch than the Tobey Maguire trilogy. But hey, it's just me. So what do you think about the reboot? YAY or NAY? :)
