I always wanted to be a writer…. But I have failed many times. Is it… | by EHxAnomity | Sep, 2025

Dear readers,

If you are here, then this is my first achievement that you clicked the title of this story. But now that you are here, I would really appreciate it if you read the remaining blog.

My name is Karan Kohale. I am from India, belong to a small town, and I work for a big MNC company as a Cybersecurity Engineer.

While I love my job, there is a small part of my heart that reminds me of my childhood. I wanted to become a Pilot (I wrote in my school diary in that particular section where it says “ what do you wish to become in the future”)

Am I a Pilot?

No, I am not. Why?

I don’t want to blame my family, teacher, or my relatives, or any of them, for diverting my track to a career that pays more and provides a stable lifestyle.

It was my mistake that I wasn’t convincing enough. I couldn’t explain why I wanted to become a Pilot.

The reason for that …

I never looked into it. I never even checked what are the roles and responsibilities of a Pilot.

Why?

That’s because I am lazy. I am so lazy that I gave up on my dream. And do you know what they say about such people?

Dreams don’t die because they’re impossible — they die when we choose comfort over effort.

I think I got distracted while writing and forgot what this post was all about 🙂

So I started Medium because I think I can at least give a chance to one of my wishes to be a good writer/blogger.

Initially, I tried to describe my story to AI and asked it to finetune it, and guess what happened when I posted.

My Medium account got suspended for a violation.

I deleted those posts, and then I started reading other people’s content on Medium to see how they are writing. I observed that the posts are very clean and nicely presented. They are drafted like professionals and are very engaging.

I kept reading and reading for hours…

I got my answer, these writers are natural, their writing is natural. I could clearly see the efforts that they have put into one story. I observed the gap of days and months between their posts.

They must have been working on research, drafts, creating their own images, and other related things.

A person like me, who thinks that they can ask AI to do the work for them, I am such a fool.

After reading and reviewing the posts and stories of other bloggers, I decided no more AI form now !

If I make a mistake, I will take it as a new achievement because I will never repeat that.

A completely new approach for my rebirth of writing..

I will start taking notes of my thoughts immediately.

I will gather all these notes and then draft them in simple words.

I will use Grammarly for spelling checks.

I will read it twice before posting.

And once posted, I want you, the members of Medium, to comment out my mistakes and help me to be a good writer.

If you read it till here, this is my second achievement.

This was all that I could write in 1 hour.
