Alex and Emma

Thats the title of the latest flick i watched. The movie is about a writer who has to write a book in 30 days, else he would be killed. He calls a stenographer to type for him. Now, he builds a plot while dictating it to her and based on her reactions/analysis, proceeds with the story of the book. It so turns out ultimately that the story was an inspiration from his life. While, in the story, he loses both the women he loved, he fights back in reality and wins the heart of the right woman, thus changing the ending of the book.

Now, what particularly glued me to the movie was the "art of writing". I always wanted to write. Blogging is my first medium for that. I always wondered how do novelists/writers come up with such a magnificent/beautiful plot in one go. The movie told me that its possible to go about writing in small spurts, progress the story as and when u r comfortable with the part so far written and when you get a clear idea of where to take the story from there. As they say, the writer plays with the characters, they are his creation. To write something, u should be clear about the start and the end. The part in between decides how good a writer you are. I intend to be one someday. I guess i am on the right path. :)
