Amused…
I sit and stare in front of my computer screen and the words don’t come to me. I think and think and think, for the stroke of thought to hit me–it doesn’t happen.
Since morning, I have been wanting to write a story and I faced the writer’s block. The deadline nears, and then I read a 1000 takes on the subject that I am writing on. I get ‘inspired’ by them, and try to show off my vocabulary and file the story and immediately send it to my editor.
Now, thats what happens, when you dont do things from your heart–you fail!
I just choreographed a few words into sentences. Sentences into paragraphs. And made them into one coherent essay. They did not make sense.I just wanted to wrap it up as soon as possible. I was not into it.
Am I really meant to be a features writer? Why do I have to search for words and then write? Why doesn’t it just come to me naturally? I just take the laptop on my lap and the fingers just dance on my keyboard. Like right now! Why dont I face the writer’s block when I blog? Or when I write about things I feel?
(To be Updated)
I need to finish the story that led to this post. After I wrap that up, I shall come back to write about the ’selective Writers Block’ I experience, every now and then! And it happens only at work!
Update: The post above was just a one hour thought! Justa figment of my imagination. Nothing to bother about seriously!

i feel its a fear of failing to meet your own standards, of not being able to give in the best of you. i think we all create this extravagant superhero image of us in our head – this over pampered over special image which necessarily has to be sumone everyone looks up to. we dnt want to be just another brick in the wall after all. wen we blog its casual but not wen ur doing your job… isnt it?
