For four days on end there was nothing – only blank pages and insipidness of it all staring back. The ennui that stemmed from unproductiveness threatened to overpower me.
A writer has to fight battles in many fronts. One of the toughest is one that he has to engage with at the outset. It is unnerving to have a blank sheet of page in front and not a proper word or a line to begin. Writer’s Block can be a nagging condition that can hold a writer hostage for long. What is the best way of going round or overcoming this problem?
Battles are lost and won in minds. This is especially true for writers. If one is plagued by writer’s block, there is no other better remedy than getting it off the mind. Do not feel utterly pressurized by inability to imagine or write anything. If you have sat down with a specific subject in mind and are unable to start, it is best to write something else: a letter, simple sweet nothings to friends or dear ones or even rewrite lines from one’s favorite book. If that helps calm the nerves, then one could further read one’s favorite book, take a walk, lie down with eyes closed and begin to think about the things that you wish to write about. It is best to return to writing only with a very cool head.
Even after trying all that when you return to your desk, if you feel the same sinking feeling of not being able to write, and then write about how you feel, your inability to write, the problems relating to your writing, or difficulty of research. And in no time you will realize that you have over three hundred words before your eyes when it was difficult to write even ten.
The interesting part starts now. Among these many lines and words you have written, you might like a particular one or two. You could begin to make that the subject of your writing for the day. I have learnt that whatever you write doesn’t go to waste. It could be a trigger for a beautiful article that you might write afterwards. The important thing for a writer is to remain positive in the face of difficulties he encounters.
