“The moment a writer begins to pay more attention to how to write than what to write, he begins to drift away from realities.His phrases may be sweetly polished but lacking in subtance & mental nutriment...We will do best in our endeavours if we allow our innate abilities to manifest themselves effortlessly.The moment the 'ego' comes in,we will loss contact with the source of our inspiration.Always glorify God for all your achievements.He alone is worthy of our praise..Happy weekend.”
