You...I don't know what a writer's block is. You are good enough to write whenever you want to, even about not writing, as is evident by your post. Disillusionment is more like my poison. The most memorable piece about that state of limbo on writing I have read is 'क्या लिखूं ?', and that was back in the 1980s. Never read anything better than that. Then there are the times when you are putting in more than 14 hours a day to keep your bowels greased and whatever is left of the fried up mesh of synapses is just not up to it.<br /><br />umashankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940072093576263799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579671752707276248.post-24261975194781891712018-03-24T08:47:08.811-07:002018-03-24T08:47:08.811-07:00Cricket used to be a gentleman's game.

Most of us, myself included, have had "lost weekends" when we pursued keywords and measured our success by traffic. Good thing is that writing seems to be winning. Most of us are able to find a balance between social expectations and our personal commitments. I have felt the same way as you, and have had long spells of not writing, and cleaning up my blogs of all that I considered "not writing." One cannot argue the case for forced writing, even masters need practice, nor can anyone deny the fear of missing out that compels us to write while people still remember what you are talking about. But at the end, it is about being true to what you believe about why you write. If you write to be at the head of the class, of course you need to be sabse tez. If blogging for revenue, you need to only worry about traffic and what people look for. If you write for the beauty of writing, you will be perfectly content in the last bench, repeatedly sketching your muse in the margins of your geography textbook.
