My first assignment for the Writers Bureau is on its way to Manchester

Yeah.. atlast, the first assignment is on its way which means I am done with the first blue book in the comprehensive creative writing series. Yippeee!!!

Guys, I am posting the answer to the question I raised more than 5 blogs ago. Thanks to all for replying then.

The question asked which I even posted here was - Tell us in 300 words why you want to write, what you hope to gain from this course and your ambitions for the future.

And this is what I wrote

Will my saying I love to write suffice? That is the precisely the reason why I took up writing as a career. But in a more elaborate way, I want to write because it gives me a chance to experiment with words. It gives me opportunities to look at a single situation and think of it from several perspectives and express them differently.

The vividness of words, the colourful vocabulary and the pictures I can conjure up through my writing inspire me to write more.

I began with writing a blog. Four years back when I began writing it, it was because I wanted to utilise my creativity somewhere and I could think of nowhere else but on paper. It let me be imaginative. It let me be creative. It was to me what a canvas is to a painter. I could splash words on it whichever way I pleased. And every time a new piece came into being which was different that the one before. The newness is one thing about writing which has always made me come back to it. The fact that there is always something to write, something to describe is what keeps me going.

Through this course I aim to be flawless at writing. I take my career as a writer quite seriously and I want to have a full overview of each genre of writing, explore each at my own pace and then decide which suits my abilities the most. I am sure this course is designed to help me achieve these goals.

My immediate goal is to be a travel writer. Owing to my sheer fascination for travelling, food, meeting new people backed by a strong purpose to write I wish to be a travel writer. As for my long-term ambitions, I want to run my own business where writing is central to business. It can be anything; a content management firm, a copywriting firm or an institute that trains writers.

Can everyone who read this rate the answer on a scale of 1 to 5. Thanks in advance.

PS : This is blog number 100 and in a way a good day to be written on. Ma arrives tonight. :)
