Lethargy and inertia has set in. Or rather I should say writers block has set in. I do my job but that's about it. I am now just not interested in writing anything else. I panic even if I have to help our daughter to write a paragraph. It is depressing. The more I am aware of it more difficult it is to break out of this. It is the biggest nightmare for any writer. Empty page/screen and nothing to write.
Thankfully and fortunately, this is not affecting my professional life so much. I can write a good story in my sleep. But let me be honest, the enthusiam is missing. Writing is what I looked forward everyday but for the last two-three months it has been difficult.
Sometimes you resist to write maybe because the project is too big and you feel you cannot do it. Other times you genuinely are unable to write. It is total blank and howsoever hard you try you are unable to write even a single sentence. One can coerce oneself out of the first situation but it is extremely difficult if you are in the latter state.
This is not the first time it is happening to me. Few years back as well I had hit a writers block. I was frustrated, depressed, grumpy and irritated. This continued for a few months till I got a dream assignment, which finally brought the enthusiam back. I hope something like that happens again and happens soon and I don't have to suffer like this ever again.
Writing this blog is an effort to keep the flame burning. Please suggest some interesting topics for a post which might bring back the happiness back...
