Hello everyone,and welcome to my blog today I write on my writing formula step by step that I follow to make my master piece. Please engage.
For many people, writing starts from the moment they sit down and write the first sentence. For me, I would lie writing was not my hobbie, I was not a fan of writing, in fact I find it very lazy and boring. But when I was introduced to hive blockchain,I discovered that it has to do with writing. I had no choice but to learn and make it a hobby which was when I discovered my true potential. Writing is actually very interesting. The real beginning happens much earlier, in a series of quiet steps I take to prepare my mind.Writing is not just You throwing seeds onto hard, weedy ground and hoping for the best. You first have to clear the space, soften the soil, and make sure it has enough water and sun. My writing process is the same. The time before I write is when I prepare the soil of my mind so that the seeds of ideas can grow strong and healthy.
This preparation is my formula. It's not a strict set of rules that must be followed perfectly every time, but more like a comfortable routine. It tells my brain, It is time to switch into writing mode.This routine has four main parts, Clearing the Deck, Catching the Clouds, Building the Map, and Taking the Plunge.
First One which is Clearing the Deck.
The first thing I do is create a quiet space, both around me and inside my head. My normal life is full of noise. There is disturbance from my friends, chores I need to do, and the general buzz of worries about work or family. If I try to write with all that noise I am seeing, my thoughts get jumbled. It is like trying to have a deep conversation with someone in the middle of a loud, crowded party where it is impossible to hear the good ideas.
So what I do is I start by cleaning my physical space. I clear off my desk. I put away any distraction, stack up loose papers, and wipe the surface clean. The
Next thing is I deal with digital distractions. This is very important. I remove any distraction, no social media, no email. I take my phone and I put it on "Do Not Disturb" mode. Then, I physically put it in another room. Out of sight, out of mind. This act alone makes a huge difference. It is like closing the door to my room and hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door handle. Finally, I spend about five or ten minutes just sitting and meditating. By sitting still, focusing on my breathing, and not engaging with every thought that pops up, I allow my mind to slowly drift down to the bottom, making me focus and clear. I am not trying to empty my mind completely; I am just calming it down. This creates a peaceful, empty space where my writing ideas can finally speak up without having to shout.
The second step is Catching the Clouds. Once my mind is calm and clear, I can start to listen for ideas. At first, these ideas were not fully formed. They are wispy and vague.They might be a single word, a feeling, a picture of a character's face, or a line of dialogue I overheard. If I try to grab them too hard, they disappear. So, I have to be gentle.This is where my notebook comes in. I always use a pen and a paper notebook for this stage. There is something about writing by hand that feels more connected to my creativity than typing. A keyboard can feel too fast and final. Handwriting is slower, more thoughtful.I open my notebook and I just start capturing those ideas. I do not write in sentences or paragraphs. I make a mess. I write down words, fragments, and questions. I might sketch a little diagram or draw arrows connecting one thought to another. The goal is not to be neat or organized. The goal is to catch the ideas before they float away
Third step, Building the Map. After I have a page full of ideas, fragments, and questions, things can look pretty chaotic. It is like having a big pile of lumber, bags of concrete, and a box of nails. I have all the materials, but I need a plan to build something with them.I look over my messy notes and I start to look for patterns. What are the big ideas that keep coming up? What seems most interesting to me? I begin to organize the chaos. I might take a fresh page in my notebook and write down the one or two central themes. What is the main point I want to make?Then, I will create a very simple structure. For an essay, this might be a basic outline: Introduction, Main Point 1, Main Point 2, Main Point 3, Conclusion. I have not filled in all the details yet. I just write a single sentence for each section that describes what it will be about. For a story, I might think about the beginning, middle, and end. What event starts the story? What does the character want? What gets in their way? How are they changed at the end?.This map is not a prison. It is a guide. It is like the itinerary for a road trip. I know I want to start in part A and end in D, and I have a list of a few key things I want to visit along the way. But if I see an interesting side road, I can still take it. The map just makes sure I do not get hopelessly lost. It gives me confidence because I know that even if I get stuck, I can look at my map and remember where I am supposed to be going.
The last step, Taking the Plunge.Now, I have a calm mind, a collection of ideas, and a simple map. It is finally time to write. But even now, I do not just start typing the final piece. The blank screen can still be scary. So, I have one last trick. I open a new document on my computer, and I tell myself, "This is just a draft. It does not have to be good. No one will ever see this but me." I set a timer for twenty or thirty minutes. And then, I start writing. I do not stop to fix spelling mistakes or search for the perfect word. I do not go back and reread what I have written. I just plunge forward, following my map. The goal is to get the ideas out of my head and onto the screen as quickly and messily as possible. If I am not sure what should happen next I write a few possibilities. The important thing is to maintain momentum.When the timer goes off, I usually have a rough, messy, but complete first section of my piece. The hardest starting is over. The emptiness has been filled. Now, the real work of shaping, editing, and polishing can begin. But that feels much easier because I have a foundation to work with.
In conclusion, my formula is all about respect for the writing process. Writing is not just about putting words on a page. It is about thinking, dreaming, and organizing. By taking the time to clear my mind, gather my thoughts, and make a simple plan, I turn a scary, overwhelming task into a journey that I am prepared to take. The quiet before the words is not wasted time. It is the most important time of all.
