Getting back to writing
Dear Readers,
I am now sitting on my bed wondering what I would do at the end of my exams and the level of excitement it warrants. Unfortunately, I always find myself disappointed when I reach that moment, for I know I never hit the high I expect to have. To quote the most quotable villain in history, "reality is often disappointing".
However a few ideas for writing have come to me, but nothing very concrete that inspires me to write at this very moment. As I delve more and more into fantasy, I find myself being unable to write anything truly fantastical. As I delve more into crime fiction, I find myself unable to come up with the perfect crime and as I delve into Lovecraft, I find myself being unable to write about something truly terrifying.
I suppose the way of which you elucidate your thoughts are only half the battle; you must have vivid and imaginative thoughts to elucidate in the first place. I wonder if it is my environment or circumstance that is causing me to be this way or if it is simply the incapability of my mind to reach further than the stars in the sky.
Perhaps with exams out of the way in a weeks time, I will finally be able to sit down and write something with a little substance at the very least. In the meantime, I have to stay observant and see if there is anything that piques my interest.
I truly hope for the end of exams! These past few days studying have utterly bored me. I do hope that the time spent these past few days do hold some merit in the next few days to come.
Cheers,
Matthew Tan
