Then, instead of moving the story forward, I take the same scenario and write it in another character's perspective. This allows me to keep "those creative juices flowing" and also develop other characters and make more than just the main character dynamic and round.

You make a very good point. Writing is very much about gathering the appropriate escape velocity from reality and that nagging feeling that you can't really write at all, and letting that momentum carry you wherever you want to go with your words. Most of us get stuck imaging the perfect first step, when all it needs is a decent stumble, even if in the wrong direction. Thank you! You make a very good point.

And yes, writing to me is breathing. If nothing, I think in a writer's block one should atleast write a line. About a leaf, about the humidity, about a pencil, about graphite, maybe a colorful saree with a stain...anything. Sometimes, writer's block is word limit block. And when you keep yourself independent of that word limit, it becomes easier. Love it! And yes, writing to me is breathing. If nothing, I think in a writer’s block one should atleast write a line.

I'm very glad to know you liked it, and I hope it does help in whatever small way it can. In the future, I hope you ignore the delete and backspace keys a little; I'd like to see some of this garbled text too. ;) Kavita, you’re welcome, and thank you for the many superlatives!

Else there would have been quite a few lines of garbled text in here. SO indescribably stunning, accurate, and nerve-shattering did I find this read to be! It's been bookmarked already, just in case a need arise, for I know it will! Thanks...

Because of my dazzling illustration skills? Because of the forcibly inserted metaphors in this piece? Enigmatic comments really should come with more clues, and a map, and an interpretation guide.

Enigmatic comments really should come with more clues, and a map, and an interpretation guide.
