Once upon a time

I have decided to write a book (:

Actually, it has been something I have been thinking about for a while. I have always wanted to be a writer, famed or otherwise. Perhaps this might be known to some as a dream. Even I am not too sure. There is no rush of adrenaline when I think about it, though the torrent of ideas and plots that awash my mind has been known to invoke feelings of excitement. In any case, it is a plan which I hope I will be able to complete in a year!

When it comes to ideas and activities, I have never been the most steadfast. In fact, I would call myself flighty in this aspect, for I would imagine and envision many plans and projects, but most fail to materialize due to gradiented passions.

I'm not sure what the book will be about yet. For now, it is likely to be a fantasy book, perhaps with social commentary injected, either subtly or blatantly. Memories, magic, science, love, romance, religion... just some preliminary ideas. I'm quite excited about some of the ideas that have surfaced so far! It's all still quite premature, so I better not get ahead of myself. Anyway, it certainly makes life all the more interesting and purposeful! Writing a book is, after all, much like painting, albeit with words instead of brushes. There is beauty in the process, satisfaction at the end.

Let's hope this magic won't run out on me.
