IT'S CALLED A "Writer's Block"

It eventually dawned on me, I was having a writer's block", I have been in a jam to write, on the account of running short of what to write.It was bad, to just sit there and have nothing to write about. Words redeem me, most of the times but what happens on the day that words desert you? 
Like magic, it so happened that it got tweeted about. On those good Friday evenings when twitter makes a better case for short messages, it dawned on me that I was having a block, we worked around how to defeat the writer's block and there it was in one of the suggestions, write about the writers' block.

So here I am trying to make sense of why, it is hard to write. It was eye opening to know that men Like Scott Fitzgerald suffered from writer's block (thttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Scott_Fitzgerald) To make a case for it, we found solutions for it. It sure does happen but that is not short of the fact that it also is a blessing in disguise.
Maybe it is time, to re-visit old wells of joy like your favorite writer, or it is that time of the year where you run through the archives on your blogs, read old drafts and dust them off for publishing. Or even that envied walk into the sunset(you don't get those if you work 8:00am to 6:00 pm) but you sure get the luxury of solitary walks. It is hard these days to even get a moment alone without the evidence of a notification from some random application.

So Maybe, the inspiration will hit, when you are not glued behind the keyboard or even holding on tight to the pen. Why was I having a writers' block, mine was because of a blog I follow, I have a writer friend of mine, who for some reason uses all the mega-lingual he has in just one blog! He goes from hard to say words to hard to spell words.(In his world, they are child's play) Each morning, as I rose to a notification from his blog, I was armored with a dictionary to go through the onslaught, and then an additional spelling game to master's the new words. Such torture!
It finally dawned on me, that that is his way of writing and maybe I was born for simple rhetoric. He was good at it, and perhaps my trade was this.So why beat myself up? 

Maybe, you too have had a set of blocks in your writing. Those dry spells of not creating words from your metal movement. I just wanted you to know, that there are a zillion writers writing about you, and they understand the drought. But also I want you to know, that it takes just writing a better blog than mine about the writers' block to kill the rigid hands and mind. Write away, it is life reviving.
