Struggles of being a writer.

                   It is not an easy task to create something out of your juices. I am a person who started writing abruptly. We all write something everyday maybe for our studies or to communicate with our fellow beings. When I was a kid I used to think about the ability of the writers to create big books or content that took them to great levels. I couldn't write a proper sentence without a single grammar mistake at that time. However I chose English literature stream for my graduate course by keeping this sense of reality still haunting me and it might be the play of faith Meanwhile I developed a crush over a person, whom I like to mention as the forbidden fruit through my poems, was the reason I started writing(in a way he woke up the poet in me).
                   I believe no one is born a poet or an author but yes! they do have inborn talents which are brought to senses with an external stimuli, maybe it can be due to an incident, an experience, sorrow, happiness and the reasons can vary with every person you consider. Ideas come naturally to a writer. Let me give you an example to elaborate. One day I saw my crush walking past me and he just ignored me like I seemed invisible to him eventhough we have talked many times. That incident brought me pain and that mixed emotion of anger and sorrow made me jot down the words 'If someone you loves ignores you, its just they can't stand the intensity of your love'.For the first time in my life writing down some words gave me relief from pain. Then I posted this quote in social medias but to my amaze it gained good publicity. Then I realised people are out there, with similar pain, unable to write their emotion out but is relieved by reading something relatable. The compliments I recieved gave power to my pen  to sew more of my quotes in together thus giving birth to my first poetic creation. Then after one year I published my first book 'SAMUDRA:An ocean of thoughts'.
                  Gradually I realised the fundamentals of creative writing. People will acknowledge a literary work if they find it relatable. For example; A person who underwent a breakup recently or demise of their loved one will definitely feel emphatetic to Ravinder singh's quotation from his novel ' I too had a love story', "She died. I survived beacuse I survived, I die everyday. "But its not like others won't be enjoying these words.
                     While writing a piece, a writer is taking a toll on themselves. They will have to copy their deepest emotion through words(which is the hardest part)as language limitation can break the flow of thoughts while writing. As I told earlier ideas sprout abruptly. Once a writer jots down those thoughts he will have no idea about it if asked later, may even think if it's their own work or might even feel pity as if he has written the greates blunder. This proves Wordsworth's definition about poetic genre.
                   Writer's block is similar to sleeping, in a way it is the sleeping of creative mind of a writer, his brain stops working creatively. This can extend to days, weeks, months, or years. Our brain need time to replenish with ideas and a professional writer during this time has to force words out of hima, which is the hardest part, before the deadline. There is also a misconception as use of complex vocabulary can take their works into next level. I believe there isn't  a single time in there whole life a writer turns to the dictionary for help.
                   One day I was on my way to college. On the journey we passed by a field so serene. It was early in the morning and the sun just came out. The field turned into a bright shining land which due to the reflection from the dews. It filled my head with the words as follows:
                  "When I got sunkissed
                    Revived your memory I missed
                    It lighted me with bliss
                    Cleared your face which I miss."

I got so impatient to write down these words before it get wiped from my memory but I had to wait till I reach college as I didnt had access to pen and paper at that moment as I was travelling, standing in a bus. Writers have to carry pen and paper with them always. Even J K Rowling got the idea of Harry potter while she was travelling in a train.

                       I love writing. It helped me to flow out my fears, emotions, darkest memories and I am sure there are many writers out there who would find my words relatable. No matter what happens never stop writing as you have a great talent in your hands.
