Deciding on what to write has been really, really tough. Coupled along with "writer's block" (when I've not even begun to write!) it has almost strangled my blogging and regular writing. Finally though, I am a lot more confident of writing consistently, unlike the first two years of blogging, which saw just about the number of words that can fit in to a mobile phone text message or two.
The confidence arises from my deciding on what I'll write, while wishing ardently that this will help me overcome my writer's block. Yeah, I want to write about everything under the sun. But this small problem of lack of knowledge and too much attention to detail and unwanted perfectionism stops me from doing just that. So, I will stick to two main categories that I know a wee little bit: books and music.
Books, reading, writing, authors, characters, plots - I'll try to present everything that catches my eye. I read both English and Tamil, so both will find a place here. Similarly so with music, musicians, genres(as I learn to differentiate between them), instruments. As and when I come across information: general and background, I'll also try to include anecdotes and pieces of history - interesting ones.
That is what I'm going to write on this blog. At least that is what I'll be writing about more. Once in a while, I will also be putting my toes, sometimes legs and body attached, for a small sprint outside these known territories and comment on some happenings and people, record my responses and reactions (hopefully, these will be lesser when compared to the main stuff!)
