She fumes, she frets.
She pleads, she screams.
All they do is mock and tease.
‘You are no good’, they screech.
She implores them to dance across the space so that she could pass their beat on to others.
But they turn their back with disdain!
Aah! The drama between the writer and her words.

If you sit back and wait the words come running. Chasing them isn’t a good idea. Great post on writer’s block:)
Ah! That’s not the case with me. When I sit back, they get into hibernation mode!! SIGH. Lucky you that they come running to you, when you ignore them! Thanks, Sulekha!
The dreaded writer’s block. Best to relax when that happens.
Ah! With the deadline looming large on me, I couldnt relax!! 😛
What a lovely play of words here, Shilpa! Reading more definitely helps to put words to paper when writer’s block attacks.
Yes, reading certainly helps. Thanks Rohan, glad you liked this attempt!
hehe… oh what a familiar foe!
It isnt your foe though, Roshan!!
Such a beautiful fact in fiction well written Shilpa.
Thank you Jayanthy.
What a drama! Exactly my state for day 6. 🙂
Ah! You too!! Hope you have sailed out of this situation, Vinitha!
This is such a lovely tango between a writer and his/her words!
Thanks Varsha!
A writers nightmare penned so beautifully that makes me wonder how do thou bribe thee!!??? 😉
Thanks Shalini. Glad you liked this attempt to bring back the words!
Do we not wonder at times, “who moved my words”,.why are the taps catering creative juices, turned dry? And thers comes a realisation that it was all there, only waiting for the right time to occur.

I love the personification of the words themselves. You really have a gift for the flash!
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Lynda! 🙂
Woah! Writer’s Block shared in the best way possible. Words playing hide-n-seek. It happens with everyone, however with me quite frequently. I take a small break do not log in to my machine or blog and just surf internet.
It helped me in past 🙂
Glad that these strategies work for you, Dipika. My block is a bit stubborn and does not comes back to work that easily. SIGH 😀
You spoke for all of us, Shilpa! This was such an adorable post!
Aww! You think so! Thanks Mayuri!
Wonderful post, Shilpa! You are such a master at the short fiction. So true about the writer’s struggle with words who seem to have a mind of their own and are not always cooperative!
Aww! Thank you Cathy, you are so generous!! Ah! Tell me about that! These words truly act like bratty kids 😀
Wow! Writer has done it again, holding all the words to get this post a star mark. Loved it!
Cheers
