Hi.. I am a new Writer, Starting today only.
When I was a teenager, I used to be a great Bookworm, spending about 90% of my free time reading books, mostly fiction as it took me to another world and I was loving it. But now, few years and one marriage later, I actually lost it, No stamina to sit and read for more than fifteen minutes. I became one of those, love-to-buy-books-and-never-read types. I even prefer to watch TV or Sleep rather than read the book I got myself with so much love and excitement. Somewhere inside I always know that this lazy bastard is not me... ever. So with plans to kill this lazy bastard, and resurrect the real me who loves to read and write. I am starting this blog.
To share with you, I recently researched the great epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana (on Wikipedia). I am amazed to note the detail and precision in these stories, how all the curses and vows were planned and executed. I wonder if any of today's writers can write anything this great. Not that I have not seen both epics on TV, but I was only seven or Eight years old, all I remembered were the cool camera effects used to show the war with Magical Arrows.
Anyways, I request those who can, to please give me some tips, as how can I bring the writer inside me out.
Yours sincerely,
Saurabh

Find time to write/read. Make it as a habit like brushing your teeth. Start reading books like ones with Short stories to rebuilt the habit. Short stories wudn't take much time.I believe you should be able to come back on track if not a bookworm.
