A break-through poem, end of writer's block!

Okay so remember how I mentioned about my irksome writer's block in my last post. Well, I am happy to announce that I am over that. And I came up with one of my most beautiful pieces of poetry I have ever penned (typed) today. Well, the truth is yesterday was a holy night according to the Islamic calender. Muslims stay up the entire night praying and fast the other day. I posted about it last year as well. (Click here to view that post)

Anyway, so I was praying last night and an inspiration struck me. It was about how lost I was and how God directed me to the right path. So today after my afternoon prayer I sat down to write my feelings. it was really difficult to get through the first two stanzas so I Googled 'writer's blog' as instructed by Gaalikae in her comment. Turns out writer's block is merely a phrase behind which writers hide to disguise their lack of focus or imagination or confidence. Believing in that, all I had to do is gather up some courage and write down whatever broken sentences came to my mind. Eventually, sentences started coming out more formatted and by the time I was through the 4th stanza, my poem was coming out in a real smooth flow. by the time I finished the piece I had to reformat it once or twice and reading it all over finally I was done. I was proud of what i had come up with. :) Really proud.

Well, it'll be really nice if you guys drop by my other blog and check the poem out. I would really like to hear what you have to say! :)

Tata! :)

Ouch..!

I am going through so much pain right now! My arms, legs, shoulder and back; every part is paining. I am sitting in the most rigid position ever and just my fingers are moving across the keyboard.

Wanna know why??

'Cos yesterday I played like crazy with cousins. We played all the games that required running and loads of energy. I had fun, but the thing is my body isn't used to such movement. I am a couch potato and running and playing 'tag' doesn't work for me. So look at me now, I wince at even the tiniest movement. :( But, at least I had fun. So I can bear the pain! :)

Anyway I have been really busy with my family lately and I hardly get time to do anything by myself. So today, while everyone was sleeping I sneaked out of the room and got hold of the computer. And here I am right now, writing a post while the other snooze away! :D

But you know what sucks these days, with all the things happening around me and so much to write about; I wonder why am I going through such a major writer's block. It's really irksome, you know. I get down to write something but nothing comes out. I feel like tearing the screen apart. I started writing a book and got through the first chapter easily. Then two days back I got some time and tried starting with the second chapter, but..BLANK.I had stuff on my mind but it wasn't able to find the right path to the screen. Uhhh... Writing is not working for me these days! :( Seriously!

I am kinda really missing my friends, 'cos it has been a long time since we last met and had a hell lot of fun. You know, it's fun being around family and all but when things start getting monotonous, I just don't have fun anymore. That's the worst part about vacations, monotony can't be kept at bay. School is better that way, at least not everyday is the same.

I am gonna end here, 'cos I seriously need to get a painkiller.

I'll leave you with a Korean song that has been a part of my Korean fever these days. Korean people are so cute! Ahhh! :)


Tata! :)
