THE INFINITE READING-WRITING CYCLE: “Take a step to me and I will take two to you”

The more you read, the more you think. The more you think, from more perspectives you look, the more you dream, the more you can create. So the more you can write. It is not possible to put the things that feed your inspiration, creativity, writing capacity, etc. into a pot with limits. If you read at every opportunity, if you give yourself the chance, the time to deeply think about the people, the experiences, the life surrounding you, to observe them and to put them into the flow of ideas that always nudge you to write, you need nothing but a pencil and paper. In my journey of writing so far I have understood that the essentials we should not miss out about writing are:

THINKING

Find your best moments when you can focus with a clear mind. There may be interesting and unexpected ones. I usually find myself more clearly thinking on new ideas while I am washing the dishes, making my son sleep, looking outside from the window during a journey and so on.

READING

During our entire life, reading is always with us. No matter the lifestyle we choose and the knowledge we need, reading always provides us with a benefit. It is always gainful whether we realize or not. Every book deserves a chance to be read at least once, a single sentence may change your day. Give books the chance to return to you with the more.

OBSERVATION

I always enjoy making observations about the people I see outside; the employees at the restaurants, people walking down the street, workers doing something at the roadside. Sometimes I even try to guess what is happening behind the doors of the houses. All these make me think about more and more varying lifestyles, experiences as well as the problems the people may have.

With the following reminder; these never bring any negative result, instead you will always be the gainer.
