The Writer's Block!

Ha ha ha - I can seriously visualize the Writer's Block in a Non-Categorical Writers' tribe C'

It was not good on your part to enter the club and spell bind the audience with your performance but non-performance

 

Dear Sir,

Writers' block? You can write on any topic that you like..both serious and hilarious!
I gave a 'like' not for your writers block but the way you presented it and I can visualise the scene in club.
Yesterday only I was thinking that there is no blog from you since long and waiting for something. My wish is fulfilled and as I opened my computor in the morning I saw your snippet!
Non categorical writing as you mentioned...people like me visit this forum most than any other.
Please do write...plenty of topics. Sit at the keyboard and your fingers would jump over words that we are waiting!

When there is a pressure of low returns on performing assets, automatically business interest turns to NPA's - but in the case of writing here - you are a star performer immaterial of the class of asset

 

Dear Sir,

' idea appealing to readers.....'. Don't worry. Anything from your pen, sorry, keyboard would appeal to readers. I am sure of that.

Dear Sri, my good friend,

What a fascinating post! I wish IL had a category that superseded the banality of the "Like" button. I mean, why not create a "Super-Like" symbol? You know the guys in charge. I implore you to get them to create it soon. For I wish from the bottom of my heart to click on that button below "Writer's Block". I like it so much that I may drown in my emotion flooded solitude. Before you get a chance to read this.

What I like most about the post is its title. It clarifies in no unclear terms that Cheeniya considers himself a writer, as opposed to a blogger. As one reads through the post, this impression is strengthened even more, for he does keep referring to himself as a writer. Blogging is a powerful medium of expression no doubt. But it is different from writing. It's only a writer who'd use sentences like:

or

Believe me my friend, I know a writer when I read his writing. Sentences such as the above are soaked in all the literary rasams of the world. They remind me of nothing less than

And indeed, it's only a writer who knows what he means when he says:

He says it in style. Creativity at its best. And what do his readers conclude? Or, at least, what does this particular reader read into the last quoted line? He reads:

But I will control my emotions. I won't write a comment that stretches way out to the Andromeda in outer space. Instead, I will simply say, Cheeniya, good friend, be a writer and face Writer's Blocks every now and then. But be a writer by all means and not a blogger. Don't deny yourself the right to suffer the luxury of this peculiar illness. This unique illness. Don't seek a cure in blogging. Bloggers don't suffer from blocks.

'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer the Slings and Arrows of outrageous Writer's Bloc, than to put on the guise of a blogger.

A Writer's Block can be removed. It is bound to be removed. A blogger's block cannot be removed. It doesn't even exist.

Sir,
There was one "Writer's Block" in a police station I visited once.
I understand you are not talking about that two room department , but about something more depressing . Only, I cannot figure out why anyone would put a whole club house into gloom just because he could not find something to write . It sounds dangerously close to symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.


‘The agony of a creative mind can be understood only by another creative mind’ .
Yes, sir. True. It escapes me completely.


I thought , only those who had made writing their livelihood would get miserable if they cannot find something to write about , because that would mean no paycheque. If people "writing for pleasure" suffer pain , it defeats the whole idea I think.


I have read Writers saying they wrote the book, because " the story was screaming inside me to be let out ....it had to be told " etcetc. So i assumed, writing was an act of release, "a catharsis" in writerly language. Like scratch the itch and be done with it. But to sit and agonise about not getting that itch is something I cannot understand at all. I certainly never pray for pricklyheat , just so that I can use " prickly heat powder" for relief.


But then, i am not a " creative mind", so what would I know ?


However, at the end of the day , you did manage to write a nice article much to the enjoyment of your Cyber followers. And much to the relief of your club friends I guess.

 

Look who's talking? A rambler writing such a fabulous piece on Writer's block, is no writer eh? If you say so sir, if you say so. You are indeed blessed with a good group of friends it seems. Now you need to get back to that direct approach friend and ask him what he would call us, the admirers of that person who doesn't know what he is writing about. I am sure your friend will have an episode of sorts when he gets to know that there are more of those - those who think they are writing not knowing what they are writing.

But that club seems to do you good whether you are having fun or not. Like I said earlier, it must be something to do with the people you hang out there. Look at the master piece you produced. I am sure like me, all others were also enjoying, smiling, nodding their heads to your lovely snippet. You may have a writer's block but like you have recognized yourself, you have no respondent's block, like me! You mentioning that you think about what to write next about had my head spinning. I am convinced sir, go tell that friend of yours that you know some one (me) who writes just because she can feel! Oh sir, I am sure, he will next dissuade you from hanging out with us, encouraging you to spend more time with them. Don't listen to him okay.

In all seriousness sir, thought out or spontaneous, a well written snippet. After umpteen attempts to read, finally I am here. No, no it is not your writing but my time crunch. Even now as I type my response, my computer is threatening me with a shut down for some thing in three mins as I type in haste, trying to beat it for I know the spontaneity of thoughts will be lost if I wait too long ....thinking. The only thing I can tell you is, I know I will read your snippet again, as well the responses.

Welcome back with your writer's block. May the block continue to stay in place. After all we get to read such lovely pieces. Enjoyed it sir, thoroughly.
