A Monologue

Its been quite some time since I have had anything new to put on this blog. Seems the Storyteller is running out of stories. That's not the way it is. At some level, these stories have been a part of me. Some incident that happened to me, or someone I know or just some curious observation, that set the pen rolling on the paper.

Writing does come as a passion to me and as some creative work takes form, I often wonder whether it is just me who likes what is written. I ask my friends to be open critics and their honest suggestions do help to improve. This also lets me know that I am being appreciated. Its nice to have a small fan following.

Some words of criticism that I have received so far are that the stories get too profound, too philosophical and at times too personal. Can't blame anyone for that. Having lived a story, I find it easier to narrate the incidence more sincerely and incidents that inspire are told with even more intensity. A friend told me that my attempt at a light funny story lacked the punch and humour. Well that's a positive feedback in a way since now there is more room for improvement.

I don't want this to be just another blog. The Storyteller wants to tell stories with words that reach out and touch the reader. Anything that inspires a story worth telling and stirs the writer in me, shall and will make it to this blog. If blogging were an art and I were an artist, then let this canvas be painted with most beautiful, colorful, funny, intense, inspiring and maybe thought provoking stories.

The Storyteller will take a leave now, got some stories to pen down.
