It will be ironic if i quote back your entire essay in a comment to your writing about editing and creative destruction so i would resist the urge to do that. (Perhaps that’s the first take away that my heart takes from this cracker of an essay.) I want to print this in giant font and read it before every editing session! Raju, your essays are a service to all writers, no matter what stage of writing they are at. They are also a service to all humans because isn’t writing well all about living well anyway!
Sana yaar jitne baar bhi ye comment padhti hu utne baar lagta hai do I deserve such a generous and passionate and creative reader responder? but actually we all deserve this.. ♥️ this is what keeps is going..
You my all time fav poet, writer. Tumhein kahan se pata chal jata hai ki humko kya chahiye?
In dino ek kahani perform karna tha waqt kam tha. Ek bada hissa edit karna pada. Dard hua, bahot dard. Tumhara essay marham ki tarah lag raha hai. Lag raha hai jaise hum seeds ko alag kar lete hai, kha nahin sakte, par wo seeds kahin na kahin apni zameen khoj lete hai.

Of course we all do!
So resonate with this. Am going to use it when I mentor young academic writers too :) Each sentence is gold...thank you Raju!
Oh that makes me so happy Mukta.. Thank you 💚🌸
I am not done reading this post, but came across these lines and realised this is the lesson I need to learn… one of the lessons.
“Meaning: in order to create anything, I must be ready to discard a lot.
Meaning: Creativity is blocked not when I am scared of creating, but scared of letting go.”
Thank you, Binu. 💙🌸

Yes, "The most profound creative destruction is of the ego."
Thank you for reading, Rajinder. ♥️
