Word Boost

You might have noticed an increase in the number of words I am publishing these days. I don’t know why. Or how. Somehow a lot of things have clicked in my head. I quietly switched from consumption to creation mode. It is my process now. I happen to keep reading, lurking, and thinking.

It also gives me an opportunity to use my fountain pens, ink, and paper. I love writing and thinking in longhand. I used to have the opportunity to take notes when I was a working reporter. These days I don’t use the old reporter’s notepad. But old habits still die hard. Plus, drafting in longhand and then typing it out later is a good way to edit your copy. And boy, do I need to edit and need a copy editor. Plus, as they say, too many pens, too little time.

At least for now, I am going to be annoyingly bugging you folks with more newsletters and more of my ideas. You have been forewarned!
