It was, at first, only to hanker after beautiful phrases from the magazines I bought, from old cheap books I snatched-up on a garage sale, and those free booklets pass to you while walking down the streets. I did not wish to read in full, completely unaware that this practice of reading and recording of expressions or group of words, would become a relevant factor in pursuing my passion. I can only reflect on it as my reading rehearsal, which is helping me a great deal in writing my articles today.
There are times that you want to remember something, and you just could not get your head around it. This is where you begin realizing the value of reading and journalizing. Even great writers are referring to them(reading and journalizing) as one of the best tool one can ever have in writing. To quote from Amy Shearn's article on "Journalizing Ideas..." she said, "Capturing it in a special notebook or on an index card to tack up by your desk is a good idea not only for the reminder it creates, but also for the very act of writing. I do not have to say a word, but I completely agree with her."
I also strongly agree with my professor in college, who taught me to read voraciously. I can not forget that moment in my management class, when Professor Jose B. Leal uttered this phrase about reading saying, "when you do not read several hours a day, seven times a week, you will be ten years behind!" Such a beautiful expression of words, hanging on my brain till now. I have since then expanded my routine. I do not only read small leaflets and old books from rummage sales. I have become a voracious reader of books and anything my eyes could set on the World wide Web.
When at first it was only for emulating or echoing of phrases on a suitable time, now it has grown to be an effort second to none,for me, and I believe for all aspiring writers as well. Consciously making that effort, to put down significant turn of phrases as we read, will impel more ideas and develop great content for the readers. We should read, journalize and write a lot! It is the only way of getting that skill of constructing error free sentences, and maybe the only way of accumulating new words that is essential if we want to get on in the world of writing.
