A writers' block. We all seem to get them, once a while, don't we? I guess that would be the topic for my first blog. A Writers' Block. Truth to be told, I'm having one right now so please, excuse me, if this turned out to be a waste of time.
A friend once told me, "Writers' Block happens all the time. You need some fresh air. Change of atmosphere man!" Though wherever I go; the park or the corniche, its just the same. Its been here long enough to make me forget when was the last time I wrote an actual story! My new best friend, I call it out of mere frustration.
One usual Thursday, happy as I was as anyone would be now that its a two-day weekend and homework was allowed to be done at the last moment, I decided to do a little research of my own. For all who don't know me well, 'Research' isn't my thing. I wouldn't even do it, if it was the last thing on Earth. So now you know how jobless and bored I really was.
I googled 'A writers' block' to find -
A writers' block is when an author/a writer has a lot to deal with at hand and thus has a cluttered and unorganised brain.Wikipedia had told me something that we all already know.
I sat down wondering, how can I be unorganised? I may be lazy and stubborn but I shall not, in any time-frame, be unorganised.And then I knew. I knew who to blame it on. The teachers. If school is said to bring out our talents, why cage us and our talent up with homework? "To revise what you have learned today and from that, what will help you in your future" replied my school counselor when I asked her that question.
I left the room, unsatisfied with the answer. I walked around the school ground in deep thoughts. One of them was of lunch (I like food! Chocolates in particular) and the other, the more important one, was on my recent chat with the counselor. As a group of skateboarders passed me, one said to the other, 'Over at my place at 6? I got 'The Thing' man! Its amazing!'
And then I got it!
The teachers secretly work under an evil person who doesn't want smart and talented children, in fear that they, we, might spoil his evil plan that is to take over the world!
Yes, that's it!
Even though this is (I admit) a little far-fetched. It did make me laugh and shake off that Writers' Block for sometime.
So here is my own free advice. "Make the unexpected out of every situation. It lightens not only your day, but others' too when you share your laugh with them"
And to all of you patient readers reading out there. I must thank you, for reading till the end.
We all need to try.
Try And Try Till You Succeed huh?
