A Writer’s Resolve with Nightcafe AI
“It’s all Amit’s fault”.
Having been instigated by Amit Verma, I’ve been writing this column for a little over two years now.
My intent was to write largely about the economy, policy, and money management.
A little bit about the mountains.
About movies, and more.
Pretty soon, the ‘more’ took over, and I was writing about anything that caught my fancy - a less kind way of describing this would be to say that Gimme Mo is all over the place.
Like me.
I don’t think that’s going to change. I don’t see myself as an expert on anything, but I have a wide range of interests, and if I have an interesting experience, or a fresh (for me) insight on anything, I will write about it.
The discipline of a weekly column has been good for me; the very act of ‘planting bum on seat’ forces you to engage with your thoughts, and there is a delight when the process of writing leads you far away from where you began, and hopefully a couple of angstroms deeper.
Sometimes, though, the deadline becomes an end in itself, and I have forced myself to turn out words that qualify as a post, but don’t satisfy me. This should not happen.
As a form of New Year’s resolve, I have been thinking about this tension, between a weekly post, and meaningful writing. My intent, now, is to treat the Sunday post, not as an end in itself, but as the outcome of a week of thinking and writing.
Mo writing - but not necessarily more words to weigh down your weekend.
New Year’s resolutions are notoriously hard to keep, but I deeply mean this one.
Thank you for being a reader.
Enjoy your posts. Please continue doing what you are doing.
Thanks, Kaushik.
I hope to do what I am doing, but a little deeper, a little better.
