Overcoming Writer's Block

Have you ever really felt the need to write about something and started writing about it but give up in the middle of it?

You feel you have great ideas and started writing but after sometime realises that you do not have so much idea about it anymore and just give it up. Dont' worry, you are not alone. This is a condition faced by many budding and up and coming writers in theri initial stages of their journey into the world of writing.

I myself have also always been interested in writing since my high school days but never seem to find the time or the courage to write. Books have always been my passion and I read everything that I could lay my hands upon. When I read great authors I just want to be like them some day. I have started writing several times but always give up never completing what I had written. I started wrting and after soemtime I feel that I don't have the passion or the drive to write anymore give it up saying or thinking that writing is not my cup of tea. But this desire to write refuses to die down even after all these years. Perhaps I am a victim of a condition called writer's block.

The dictionary defines writer's block as "a usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue work on a piece of writing."

I have tried to overcome this by writing blogs. It has always been my dream to be a writer in my own right someday and writing these blogs is an initial step in that direction. Even if I ain't in the league of the likes of Salman Rushdie or Vikram Seth, I just enjoy writing and that is all that matters in the end.

So all you budding writers out there, stop procrastinating and start writing. Maybe you are a Salman Rushdie or a Vikram Seth yet to be unleashed. Let the creative juices in you start flowing.
