Between a Writer’s Block

A Trip Down Memory Lane – Jan/Feb 2014

I’ve this tendency to go into writers’ block easily, which is odd, because I don’t believe in writers’ block at all. When I go into such a phase when words seem to stay away from my pen, it feels endless. It’s torturous and I end up being moody.

Looking back at 2014, the first two months seem to have gone by in such a phase. I wrote just 4 posts in two months, 3 in January, 1 in February. The post in Feb wasn’t one that I loved either. But I liked what I wrote in Jan. From the three, I’ve chosen two that are most memorable for me in my Blogging Journey 2014.

The first is a poem that I can say without a doubt is one of my favorites, one of my best. It’s titled “Footnote” and reflects the confused state of mind I was in. They say poems come out best in such a phase, and I’m happy that it came out.

The second is a story titled “Unlike any other”, one that just came with the flow. I like thinking differently, and this story I wrote to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and perfection isn’t necessary in love, it’s accepting the imperfections and still they’re perfect.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
