Prof

I cannot get rid of the necessity for acronyms.

I'm going to be a Prof. What??? Is it Professional or Professor, Mr. Arvind?

Either. (If it's the latter, better call me Dr. Arvind. :o))

This is what it stands for...

1. P - Primer or maybe Prathipakshnena (hilarious?)
2. R - Read like a writer
3. O - Own, One's own or Orginal and any word that starts with O which I can fit in reasonably.
4. F - Forum or Feedback

Actually, I was somewhat using these 4 ways of doing things in programming. Apparently, it looks as if I can use the same technique here.

By primer, I mean learning the basic principles, more like just learning things in the primary school.
By 'Read like a writer', I mean reading classic and good books written by others. In programming, this is learning from others' code.
Own writing is self-explanatory.
I will participate in forums or take in feedback after having written something. It will be the last stage and even if 'f' is not there in the acronym, I can still be a 'Pro'. :D

I'm presently doing the 1st two and after some 15-20 days, I will start again writing daily something for 45 minutes.

The good news for me is that I'm liking the time spent working i.e. I can sit at one place for some sessions of 45 minutes. 'Reading like a writer' is really a nice excuse to enjoy some good book. :-) It's like the villian getting paid to do the rape scene. :D

Ofcourse, I'm a bit anxious in the way my career is going. I have got to put a lid on myself in not thinking too far about getting the book published. Just yesterday, within a few minutes, I was wondering about fame and I fell down from my scooter in my excitement. lol

My only aim, which sounds trite, is to be liberated from the pains that I have.
