Times like these, I feel the need to write. I guess it's the cold and wet weather that pushes me into solitude and makes me want to write. You know that moment when your head is full of words but you can't seem to form a comprehensive piece about what it is you're thinking about? Yeah, that's the one.

I came across an article earlier today that speaks of writers who lose their touch and inspiration because they don't believe they're good enough to write and be read. The author reminds his reader-writers that writing should be liberating, not constricting. Those who feel constricted by the thought of writing are those who write to be read and to please the audience. But that's where everything goes haywire. Once you start writing for the wrong reasons, eventually, you ARE going to lose your touch.

"Write for yourself. The only person you need to worry about writing for is you." - Jeff Goins

Writers have their own little worlds where they get caught up in at the most random moments of the day. Everything needs to be written down - thoughts, memorable life events, rants, and all those shenanigans, which eventually become trickles of inspiration that lead to a narrative or exposition of some sort. It's an itch that can only be scratched by the tip of a pen on a clean (or sometimes dirty) sheet of paper/tissue/dried leaf or the clicking sound of keys on a keyboard.

I guess this is one of those moments. *scratch*

First Entry via Blogsy

I am in no way affiliated with Blogsy, but hell, this is one good blogging application. Thanks to hours of app searching and reviewing, I finally decided to download an application that could help me manage my blogs, ncluding my Tumblr account, from my iPad.

I wanted to maximize the use of my new toy, so I invested on applications that could help me with my job as a teacher (downloaded LOTS of presentation apps and the expensive iWork suite for the iPad) and other apps that could simply make my life, well, simpler.

With Blogsy, it's been good. No qualms yet. Haven't experienced any crashing. Although, typing is a bit of a task, given that I'm not at all used to touch-screen gadgets. Will get used to it eventually.
