Thank you for reading and insightful comment.

I feel vocabulary plays a major role at least in the initial days of writing…

I am trying my hand at a short story, will publish when it is ready…

Its a good write and what more reason do you need.
In the midst of the voyage on a small ship, a captain asks his crew. Can I be good Sailor? Is that what you are asking? Atleast some of your readers might have got this doubt.

writing is like a flow, sometimes you are through the hilly terrain and things move fast, and sometimes you are through the plains where you have force your thoughts. You cant stop the journey because in the middle you feel that your boat(Vocabulary) is not good. in the worst case, you know how to swim.

Coming to the novels, I feel the vocabulary is the least required. Many of the novelists create there own words by twisting the existing ones and blatantly violate the grammar. they follow there own rules and it takes a while for you to synchronize with them.

First of all you can put your thoughts together, later they can be always edited.
Why don’t you write short stories. they are fun.

Ok.. This article was thought provoking.. At times even I had to give a pause for running short of words while speaking. And forget about writing, I never do it these days. The main reason being tight lipped for most of the time… It is only meetings that we get to talk and that too in bits and pieces. So the question that echoes in me is “Can I be a good (if not the best) speaker”?…
any ways good to hear that you are writing a novel. Lets see if you give birth to a new Harry potter stuff……….

Any art form has a science to it and any science has an art. Confusing right? What books teach is science of writing, art part you have to develop once you cross the science barrier. Research has showed that any thing can be masterd with 10000 hours of practice, so if you want to improve your vocab or grammer or become a better writer you need to spend those ten thousand.

“Tongue is the only tool which gets sharper as you use”. Same with writing as well, i guess.

Sometimes i feel, the flow of words is related to state of mind. I have observed myself speaking so fluently and writing as smooth as water flowing. At other times, i find myself lost for words.. even in explaining simple things.. and

Your style is simple, easy to grasp. Thanks for keeping it that way.
