“Everything that glitters is not gold. ” This proverb we all have heard and many times we have seen how true this proverb is .But after many years, I again found it here after I started writing my blogs. To tell a little bit about myself, I am a professional writer and have other avenues to earn money. I came to this platform not with the intention of making money or winning a game, but to get introduced to some of my fellow young writers and share with them some of my writings and experiences.
Initially, it was very encouraging too,then I found people in the comment section sermonizing that to get better view , I need to join their telegram groups. Then I found them using hastags to prove their loyalty to each other. Isn't it ultra nonsensical? . If one has confidence in his or her writings then why do they need factions. It is like you scratch my back, I scratch your back theory.
Why should anybody who wants to be a writer stoop so low. Funny thing is many of them will be writing blogs against favouritism shown in film industry and other spheres of the world. Isn't this hypocrisy?
Friends, this is a beautiful platform which gives you an opportunity to improve your writing skills. Once you improve and also can digest the criticism on your writing then you are on your way to becoming a successful professional writer. There is no short cut to success. Any success reached by short cut means will be a temporary one and will never allow you to be proud of yourself.
Again think what happens if everyone joins the group, then again you will be back to zero, or if 4 or 5 sub-groups get formed within the group then each one will be a loser. “You reap what you sow.” One of these two is bound to happen and in both scenario you will be a loser.
I know only very few will read this blog. It doesn't matter any more to me because this is the last blog that I am writing here. Last week I qualified as a level 1 seeker . I thank all of you ,who have supported me in this journey. I could have silently moved away, but when I read many of your blogs I felt many of you have great potential, so don't fall into traps. Keep writing, keep improving and be proud of your work.
Last few lines for all of you
Life has given us very little time,That we need to share.
Be happy ,be just never get yourself cowed by care.
The path is long and dark is night
Walk the path ,awaiting for you is the blossoming light.
No not I if ever we shall meet
If we do,I shall be ready to greet.
Your love for me will always be saved in memory,
My love for you will flow on like treasury.
Bye friends, hope you all do well in whatever field you choose. But always keep writing and expressing yourselves.
