Finally I looked up for its literal meaning in the Wikipedia. I
believe it was a subconscious instruction to my fingers to confirm what my mind
had been suspecting for some time now. Writer's block is a condition, primarily
associated with writing, in which an author loses the ability to produce new
work, or experiences a creative slowdown. The condition ranges in difficulty
from coming up with original ideas to being unable to produce a work for years.
Throughout history, writer's block has been a documented problem.
As if finding a
subject was not difficult enough that my mind also insists on justifying
that with reasons before it would let me get going with my writing task.
This makes maintaining a
blog even more challenging.
I am sure, I am not the only one who feels this way and envy
those who keeps churning post after posts day after day. There was a time when one used to approach the proverbial wise-man,
who could easily been a woman too, for support and solace.
But now with changing
time, we approach Google or should I say ... we google! Thinking why I should be any different, I asked Google for help
and help there was in abundance.
I thought, why do I need to take the trouble to tap my finger
on the laptop. After all I am the lazy bum of the twenty-first century.
I spoke to Siri to find out if she could help me out. She too was equally efficient as Google. (One day I should let Siri do some Googling for fun.)
Now I have plenty of ideas and many sources to tap ideas
from. Maybe I need to start brainstorming for new excuses….
