The absolute worse enemy for a writer or blogger for that matter is something called a writers block. Whether it be a lack of inspiration or just nothing to write about it is what every blogger or at least I fear the most. I love to write. I remember back when I was 6-7 years, Instead of propping myself in front of our TV (cable wasn’t still a hit then, this was before the I-channel was available), I would spend endless weekend writing stories. Thus my intrinsic love affair with writing began.
I would engulf myself in the tiny stories playing out in my end. It takes a special kind of skill to be able to put into words what or rather how you feel. It takes even more skill to actually be able to play out the scenes swirling around one’s head unto paper and a few printed words. I remember my Cateya drawing pad I got from art class in school would not be full of drawings but stories. Countless endless stories of an overactive 6-7 year old boy.
I do not however claim to be able to possess that skill. On the contrary, I actually started this blog to acquire that skill. I long for the stories I had. To actually be able to get them out; now that was something I’ve long forgotten.
When I got my camera, I fell in love with a new form of expression. I wanted to be able to tell stories through my lenses. But sadly, I was consumed with the technicality of it all. I forgot why I started taking pictures. I didn’t want to be acknowledged as a photographer. This was not something I did because I wanted to be an actual photographer. I just wanted another form of expression to compliment my writing.
Writers Block
And yet here I am, standing behind a writers block. Lost at what to do. I pull up a browser window and quickly pound they keyboard and type “www.google.com”. Into the search box I type, “how to remove writers block”. I click on one of the top hits and it pulls up a page. Simple yet informative. It mentions different writing jargon that I no nothing off. I do see that one must practice creating structure. Guilty. I don’t have structure within my posts. I click the X looming over the right hand corner of the screen and it closes the window.
I want to write stories soon. I’ll be adding a new category. A category for short stories. I hope you like them. Or maybe a page for short stories. I will still have to ask my web dev friend. So hang on. I’ll be back soon.
