Just a Start

She had always wanted to do this. Since the day she had started looking at the flashy magazines in her grandma’s home when she was 5 years old. She had dream about becoming a writer. During her school and college days she had wrote numerous answers in her exams, various project reports, and some love letters, trying to perfect everything always. But her dream of becoming a writer had never start materializing. She was too scared of the first draft. She was terrified of the internal perfectionist self-editor.

Now, after 28 years, she realized, it is okay to vomit. To put it all out in the paper. To create a mess with words. No need to wait to write perfectly. Yes, she can vomit now. Afterwards she can clean it up.
