What happens when you are plagued by a writer's block?
Initially,I always tend to blame the work that I have on a day to day basis-the lack of clarity that is required to write.
But,it gradually dawned on me that it is quite a few factors and not just work that stops me from writing.
Inhibition is one too.
It is tough to bare your soul and at times,i try to garb it with my words..
It is difficult to know that people who actually know you -not your spouse,per se- can delve into your very thought process which you might not have shared with them,directly.
Is it a betrayal?
Do they feel that?
Or it is just an artistic license?
Will my twisted sense of being change the way they look at me?
But then i commence writing again,with the simple notion that i have always lived by,it does not really matter what they say,my life and rules for it is short.
Writing i cathartic,i do it for self.
No matter how corny it sounds.
So,here we go again:)
That feeling of unrest i think is the biggest reason of writers block.
ReplyDeletebetrayal? that hadn't occurred to me for a second because everytime i delve in someone else's mind (you know-through blogs) i feel like i am rediscovering myself. knowing you better will only make me relate to your mindset better. It's a privilege!
after reading your post, i just told myself "wow! is this supposed to be a writer's-block post?". Even though you do it for yourself, you have a way with words!
This made me feel really good about my "block".
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
Also,I guess,we are looking at it differently.
