Their Hysterics #WriteBravely
She fumes, she frets.
She pleads, she screams.
All they do is mock and tease.
โYou are no goodโ, 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!

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!

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.

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 ๐

Glad that these strategies work for you, Dipika. My block is a bit stubborn and does not comes back to work that easily. SIGH ๐

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!
October 27, 2017 5:58 pm|
Aww! Thank you Cathy, you are so generous!! Ah! Tell me about that! These words truly act like bratty kids ๐
November 2, 2017 4:13 pm|
