I never thought that I would write a sentence in English. I was from a rural village, and I did complete my school in government schools. But from childhood, I wanted to become a writer and wrote novels in my native language when I was 12 years old. Due to family reasons, I had to leave the writing part and never thought about writing for many years. But in my subconscious mind, I always wanted to write. But this time I tried to write it in English.
But I do not know English grammar and don’t even have a structure or practice to write.
Every day, I used to tell myself that I would become decent at my grammar and writing and sleep. I used to create an affirmation that ” I would write a good paragraph.” Slowly everything started aligning without even realizing that I am moving towards the writing path. I have received feedback on learning grammar and the way to approach grammar. I had created learning lessons for 10 mins a day and continuously started practicing every day for ten mins.
I took the next one full year just learning the grammar ten mins a day.
This had given me the confidence that I can start practicing writing. So When I practiced the grammar daily for ten mins, I used to go through a book and pick up the grammar parts used in the book. Slowly and steadily, I tried to create a sentence formation that would help share my idea. During this time, I had come up with many ideas and started noting it down. Most of my ideas are weird and never had any meaning attached to it.
But without any judgment, I create an idea and write a paragraph about the idea.
For example, I wanted to see and come up with a view of toothbrushes without plastics. When we start eliminating plastics in a small way, we end up making a significant process. I used to have ideas and try to connect those ideas as part of our daily life and see how this can improve traditional living standards. I have realized that writing is more powerful, and it does not only share your idea but also allows a writer to have a transparent thought process without distraction.
Slowly and steadily, I have gained knowledge about writing a paragraph.
After this, I joined the world-famous article writing course by psychotactics and completed the thirty most accomplished writers. Every day, I am supposed to write hundreds of lines, and every day, hundreds of sentences would be audited. I had to absorb a difficult phase for four months to overcome writer block and practice article writing. Then there was a time to feel that my hand is kind of decent and confident to write again. When I wanted to write a marketing blog since my core skill was from Marketing and all I could and wanted to write was marketing.
I had created my blog and started writing at Swaminathan.blog.
When you have an idea, there is no better way to express your idea other than writing. Writing allows you to express your idea. If you are someone like me and get weird ideas instantly, you should start writing and becoming a writer. I never knew about grammar parts and never learned the basics of writing. But all that I had was ten mins of my time to start with. You, too, can do this just by spending ten mins a day continuously for the next year and seeing how far you can take it from there. It is only six hundred seconds of your coffee or tea time.
