Writer’s Block is a phenomenon in which a writer’s brain freezes temporarily and it is unable to come up with any new exciting ideas to write! Every writer, blogger, amateur story teller and the likes face this, once in a while, when they are stuck  thinking about what to write next. There is always a solution for this. Personally, hot water bath helps or after singing my favourite songs, inspiration comes to me, each time. So ya, writer’s block is manageable!

This is an old post from 2018, when I had a severe case of writer’s block, unable to write at all. That’s when I wrote this letter addressing writer’s block itself, telling ‘him’, he is not welcome at all!

Read ahead….. (This was how I used to write then..)

—————-***—————–

Dear writer’s block,

It is not you, it is me, who is breaking up with you.

Just when I started taking baby steps towards becoming a writer, you show up and I fell for you!

All the stories I started to write, I had left them unfinished, just because you demanded more of my time, but then you said I lacked quality….

When I tried to drive away the spiders weaving cobwebs of inactivity in my brain, you asked me not to bother writing again….

Many times I would talk to people, to get more ideas, to get a new perspective and you would say…’you lack inspiration’!

I loved you , but you had always been selfish and insensitive. You knew how much I wanted to write and you have always stopped me by saying, the more popular I become the less I would have time for you.

If I managed to write something in spite of your admonitions, your criticisms brought me down like a pack of lifeless cards…

It’s been a year and I feel miserable, for you crushed my hopes, like a dying cigarette is!

Enough…break up it is!( Should I say Talak- Talak- Talak?)

Go away and let me write in peace…

Wait!

Let me return all your gifts, the lazy ring, the ‘No-time-to write‘ watch and the bland ‘No-Inspiration‘ dress you gifted me.

As you may ask for any last words, here they are, NEVER RETURN!

Yours,

Not- so – in – love,

now- Ex.Girl Friend,

Queen Bee.
