Why do people write? Two broad reasons are for propagating ideas and for the reader's entertainment. Some times it can be a mix of both but you get the drift. I wish to write too. But my childhood influences of Ayn Rand stick with me and I want to write something that will last forever. I don't want to write something that will be irrelevant 10 years down the line. Or a story that people will read through the night and forget in the morning. I want to write something that will change people's life. But I have no frickkin idea what it will be.I do have a couple of starter ideas. I know it will be mostly philosophy. That the idea is to unite. A dogma which does not intend to segregate. The idea is to create a sign post which people can fall back on in case they loose their way. Noble cause but that is it. Zip! That is where my 'book' ends.
I have no idea how to take it forward. I really don't sit and think about it. Maybe I should give it some serious thought. But the book I want to write might be too great for me. I need to be worthy of such a book before I can write it. Maybe the starting point of the book is my life. Don't get me wrong. Its not an autobiography! (who would read it btw?) I just think that the book writes itself through the writer. And each book chooses its writer. I wonder what book will choose me, if at all.
