PLAYING WITH MY PEN


Today, I got a niche to write. It has been so strong that I found myself unable to resist the urge. My only problem has  been that I cannot find a topic to write about. And if you are writer, then you know it is useless to pick up a pen and write, write what you don't have!!!
Well, probably I am doing this because my mind has wandered on many topics as options to write about. I wanted to write about love, and of how people are changed by love. I thought this was going to be a bit among the usual because the way it seems, everybody writes about love and although each person understands the topic their own way, it's love anyway. I gave up that topic
Well, then came my usual temptation; POLITICS. Today I am actually not in the mood to write about politics. I do not want to torment you with black and white pictures of starving children and colourful pictures of state dinners; the two simply elicit anger when talked about in the same sentence. I do not even want to remember the gruesome sight I watched yesterday night of South African Policemen shooting live fire into panga welding and rioting mine workers; with a lame excuse of self defence. Well unless they have a  Boer meaning different from one in our common sense and even the English dictionary. You see, I get carried away with politics and I have no balls for it today.
I thought about writing about myself. If you have read my works long enough, you will know that I am not the type to write about me. May be I am bored by the idea, after all, I seem to have a full understanding of myself. I wanted to write about how I am passionate about being passionate, how I love to travel although I have traveled less, how I have met amazing people all these years and of the individual feelings I harbour for all. I am already bored even before I finish.
So I sit back and ask myself, what Can I write about so that I have something I can say I have written? And before I answer myself, I realise I already have it. You just read it. I love being a writer!!!!!!!!!!
