Alarm. Snooze. Alarm. Angry shouts. Alarm. Snooze. Brush. Rush. Coffee. Work. Coffee. Play. Coffee. Angry Shouts. Work. Cycle. Coffee. Cycle. Set alarm.
Day after night, week after month, I sat (sometimes laid down and looked at the ceiling) and wondered, wondered about how easy it was to forget, how easy it is to preach, how easy it is to dream; how difficult it is to let go, how difficult it is to heal, and sometimes how difficult it is to even breathe. But we breathe none the less, we find ways to let go, to heal. We are all troubled people. Some have a way to own their troubles and find a way make them go away, while some others dwell in them and let themselves drown it that misery. As hard it may be to accept, I belong to the later. But then again, I heal nonetheless.
Writing; it is the healer, like a solace to the soul full of troubles, music to the mind, and comfort to the body. Call it passion, call it madness, call it stupid; but the fact remains. But lately, I haven’t written. I haven’t written in a long time. I haven’t written like the way I used to. And that bothered me because I wasn’t healing, like I used to, like I am supposed to. Like clockwork, I worked all the way to this coffee shop and settle at this seat beside the plug point, open my laptop with one and only intention – To Write. And all this while, coffee after coffee, and an occasional free coffee and what not. I had spent more on coffee than on hosting this very blog.
The question is why? Why I am not being able to write like I used to? What is so different now that my mind is always completely blank all the time, while once upon a time, I wrote at lengths and lengths – Nonsense none the less, I still wrote. But now it all seems so distant, that feeling, that zeal to write, that enthusiasm that I had. Don’t get me wrong, I still want to write, I crave to write actually and yet I can’t even put one word down. I thought may be it is the stuff that is happening with me. The stuff that in some way is weighing me down and restricting the words that would otherwise flow like a dream. But it is just empty. The thoughts are empty, the ideas, on the other hand, are not. But what good is an idea if I can’t shape that idea into something meaningful to serve a purpose.
May be I thought, it might have something to do with the white walls of my room and that a change might be a good idea because a fresh air is what we sometimes need to clear our head. Instead of taking a walk down the park, I went on a shopping spree on Amazon sitting in my room surrounded by the same white walls. I even forgot the fact that I didn’t have money to pay the last two month’s minimum due amount and here I was buying stuff that I couldn’t possibly afford. It was my fresh air. But then again, a moment after a satisfactory mind cleanse that this fresh air did, it hit me like a truck. It was the message on the phone that is still running on its thousandth EMI, which showed a message from the credit card company and the figure it showed just blew my mind away. Even my friends abroad won’t make that much money as much as I am supposed to pay to this card company. On second that, I just realized that I made that stuff up. I don’t really have friends abroad.
So like clockwork, I worked all the way up to this coffee shop and settle down with a mugful of coffee, while music played loudly in the space with one and only intention – write. And all this while, coffee after coffee, and an occasional free coffee and what not, the cursor still blinked at the beginning of the page. May be it wasn’t a good day to write, may be my mind is a little preoccupied, or may be I am getting distracted by the people sitting next to each other and talking as is they are on opposite poles of the earth.
Or may be…. may be I couldn’t just write anymore.

It happens to all of us! But trust me these are momentary. I know that you will keep writing more and writing better! And this one was a good one despite what you said!
Thank you.
Yeah, I believe so too. But it has been a way too long since I have written anything, or even anything barely good.
And I know that you are being kind.
You will get through this. Dont stress yourself about it na please. Hojayega for sure. Patience.
I hope so too.
Not stressing myself over this. It is just a bit frustrating when I am unable to write.
Patience is what I am keeping, for now.
Thank you, btw. 😀

This happens to us all, last year this time I would blog twice in 3 months, and now Its a different story. I think try writing on prompts thats what got me started 🙂
That’s still more than I did this year.
And that is why I signed up for this campaign, so that I would write, or atleast find a reason to write.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
Very interesting write up. Enjoyed reading it. Indeed many hues. Go and bad both.
I didn’t understand one bit. Could you be more clear, please?
The metaphor is interesting!! the Clockwork. The opening stanza is interesting!! The struggle to get through what is intended is interesting!!. only if the story is real and your current situation,its saddening…. else the story is true picture of what we all go through.
The way you put it across was interesting!!
Why, thank you.
So kind of you to say all that. Really appreciate it. 😀
It is a positive post.
Loves reading it throughout
Why, thank you. 🙂
I am glad you liked it. 😀
Writer’s block happens to the best of us. I either a) force my way through, writing drivel or b) try doing something creative other than writing.
Retail therapy is not the answer.
Good luck to you. May the words flow soon.
a) Yes, forcing the way through is what I am trying to start of with.
b) This is something I have to look into.
Sigh, if only retail therapy help. 😛
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
I hope to come up with a better post. 🙂
You seem to be getting sucked up in your own expectations from yourself. Had I known you better I would have told you to just scribble something and share because that would atleast get pull you out from the abyss. Hope you figure whats getting to you. All the best. Nonetheless, loved reading your web of words. It did touch my heart
In a matter of speaking, that might be so. And yeah, trying to scribble whatever I can.
Thank you for your words. Really appreciate it.
As i was reading your post the word “Exactly!” was running in my mind in loop…I always feel this block but somehow by grace of God I guess I am surrounded by people who inspire me to write. May this block take a pass on you. Good luck with penning down your thoughts 🙂
I am glad to know that there are people who inspire you to contribute to write. I am still trying to find that lost mojo back. I hope so too to get back on the bandwagon as soon as possible.
Thank you for dropping by and for your time. ☺️
Maybe it is all that coffee to blame, eh? ;))))
Jokes apart, this post is brilliant! Truly! You words put across your angst and longing.
Hope you start writing regularly from now on.
How did you know? I thought I was doing a good job of hiding it.
Why, thank you. I hope so to. ☺️
I have been always a fan of your writing and if this is what comes out when you are going through a writers block then I wonder what will happen when you go all guns blazing. Great one AK my brother. Keep writing.
You are always kind.
Thank you.
I hope to get back as soon as possible. ☺️
Did you realise that in your ‘not able to write’ state you actually wrote quite a heartfelt and sensible post? I’m sure you are not alone. Words sometimes take time to catch up with thoughts. Give them time. You’ll be fine.
By the way, I love the pictures you post on Instagram. 🙂
I believe this post is more of a complaining post against myself. But you are right, nonetheless, I did write something and I hope that I continue to do so, but a little less whining about my ‘inactive-writing’.
Oh, I am glad to know that you liked the pictures. And thank you very much for dropping by. 😀
This happens to the best. Sad but true .I have seen writing comes easier when I write regularly It is a creative habit .Your post was brilliantly visual
Why, thank you. 😀
I hope to write more regularly as well. 😀
It happens to me also often..I won’t force myself to write..If my mind is blank, I can’t write whatever I do..Take it easy and after some time, you will get new ideas to write!!!
Exactly, neither can I. If my mind is blank, I just can’t even write one word.
Thank you. I hope that new ideas come to me asap. 😀
“But lately, I haven’t written. I haven’t written in a long time. I haven’t written like the way I used to. And that bothered me because I wasn’t healing, like I used to, like I am supposed to. Like clockwork.”
Couldn’t have put it better myself. Have felt so for a while too, but I am writing. Somewhat. Healing somewhat better now. It’s just a phase, I think. Once that first couple of barriers are pushed past, it becomes easier. 🙂 Stay at it. Time for second post of September perhaps. 🙂
Why, thank you. 😀
And that is what I am trying, to bring down those barriers. Yes, shall start the second post of September.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
I think so you need to cut down on your coffee ! 😛
That might seem like a good idea, but somethings are hard to let go. 🙂
Everyone goes through a phase like this, I guess. But participating in blogging challenges motivates us to write in a disciplined manner and gives us a creative outlet. So keep writing. All the best.
True that. And that was my reason for joining this challenge, so in a way I might as well write something.
Thank You. 😀
10 year ago i opened my first blog. It was private and still is. I used top pen down my poetry. I cannot remember any of it and now i cannot even think poetic. Happens. Life happens. But i love your fluid thoughts. Let them flow. words will take shape and that will eventually come to life. all the best
10 years. That is a long time you have been blogging. I have 8 years behind my name, but couldn’t make anything noteworthy.
I am definitely visiting your blog asap.
Thank you for you kind words. And also for dropping by. 😀
You know, I feel the same these days. I want to write but I can’t. Those days when I wrote n published post after post look like a distant dream now!
Yes, you told the same last time we met. 😛
I am on the same boat as you. I don’t even remember the last time I wrote. Imagine, it has been that long.
But I hope that you will get back to writing asap while I am a bit more lazy, so it might a much longer time than you.
And thank you for dropping by. 😀
It happens with every writer at some point of time. Many times I am all prepared to finish my writing schedule but as the time comes, I just want to do everything except writing. I know I am wasting time but it happens. Still, you have narrated your feelings transparently.
Ditto. I have planned and made calendar entries to remind myself, but then again, I couldn’t write one word when I wanted to.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
Hauntingly beautiful and candid. I suppose most writers go through this and sometimes conflicts in personal or professional life could adversely impact the writer in us. But going back to our art is always alchemic and I hope you find your mojo back my friend. I loved reading you- so glad to have connected
Why, thank you. 😀
There was a time when I use to write about all these conflicts as well, because in a way I think I wanted to document them and see what better way to mitigate them. But now, I guess I just bar them by doing something else than writing.
And art, I believe that is how it should work. I too hope that I get my mojo back and start writing like I used to.
Thank you for dropping by and the feeling is mutual, glad to have connected with you. 😀
Oh the pressure ! To write something brilliant, and thoughtprovoking … yup it gets to everyone .
I know right?
I feel more so as I think I have been writing for long and the same old stuff might not cut away, and also won’t satisfy me.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
This is so true, all throughout your post, I could imagine myself in every word. All I’ll say is, this too shall pass, hang in there.
As much as I like to have some company, I hope that you are doing a better job at writing than I am.
And yes, this too shall pass. 😀
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
This is a part of every writers’ life. There is a stage where we have nothing to write. I guess the trick is not to give up 🙂
Yes, that is the trick. And as a result of that is this whining post of mine.
But I hope to write more often, of course not like this one.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
YOur thoughts seem to flow even when you are suffering from Writer’s Block. I wonder how fantastic you must be when you do write. By the way I love your blog design. I too used NISARG for a long while but couldn’t manage to make it as fantastic as yours.
I think that might also be termed as whining. 😛
Well, only way to know is when ( IF) I get back that mojo back, somehow.
Oh, thank you. You are too kind to say that. And I think you did a great job on your blog as well. It looks great (er than mine, obvisouly). 😀
Well I changed the theme to Anisa but I still don’t know how to get a drop down menu. I still don’t know how to reduce the categories. I still don’t know how to add the tweet box in the new WP Editor ( as the plug in doesn’t show up in the Tool Bar), similarly the Yoast feature is also not enabled in the new WP editor page…. Basically I don’t know how to work in the new WP Editor and constantly shifting back to the wp page is a PIA
When you customise the blog, there is an option to create a list for the menu. There you can add tags / categories / likewise.
I don’t understand this list for the menu…. I’m not tech savvy to begin with but thanks for the suggestion . I will try once more! 🙂
Do let me know if you need any help regarding it.
Thanks. I might just …..
Would be glad to help. 🙂
When I have writer’s block it’s like a paralysis of the fingers. I cannot bring myself to type. Your writing flows beautifully even in a block. That said, did you try reading – other blogs maybe, or your own old ones? That works for me sometimes. Or try prompts. Picture stories help sometimes. I do hope the phase passes soon because your writing has a beautiful lilt to it that I would love to read.
I feel the same thing.
You are too kind to say that. I don’t know how many coffees and procrastination and whatnot after I came up with this post.
I am currently reading other blogs. Though, I didn’t try reading my older posts. And I should try those prompts / picture stories. I too hope so that I get my mojo back.
Thank you very much for your kind words and dropping by. 🙂
Hope every writer will be stuck by the writer’s block atleast once in their life. But I assure you this too shall pass. My best wishes to you. Happy to join with you for #MyFriendAlexa !!!!
Why, thank you. 🙂
I too hope to get my writing mojo back.
And glad to be a part of #MyFriendAlexa. 😀
Nice thoughts. I can resonate the same with me.
I feel like writing more and more and more but somehow cannot make time to do it. Hence I need to park my thoughts and ideas at the bay and need to wait for the time to come so that I can pen them down.
Ditto.
But I hope that you start your engine and start writing as soon as possible.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
Writing block is something which happens to all of us at some point. Now, while writing about it, you wrote a post about it. Isnt it? You will get over it soon. All the bets Ajay.
I did write a post. And I do hope to get over it soon.
Thank you, Deepa. 😀
What a beautiful post! You have captured the emotions and the conflict so well! Good Luck with writing and healing 🙂
Why, thank you. 🙂
You’re too kind.
Ah! the dreaded writer’s block. To quote Leo Tolstoy: ““The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.” All the best!
It’s a great quote.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
Your writing from the beginning till end was as if running into a pace. Good read. Start writing
So that I can join your fan club.
Thank you, you are too kind. 🙂
We shall join the fan club together. Which one are you planning to join?
It happens to the best of us…life gets in the way. I’m sure its just a phase though and this blogging challenge will be just the motivation you need to get out of this block. Good luck!
I believe so too. But it has been so long that I am starting to doubt the phase to be a phase.
And yes, this campaign should help me get back on track.
Thank you. 😀
hi ajay , nice writing bout not able to write , haha , writing bout not writing got u so many comments , what if u actually write , keep going ,
Hey,
I managed to write after so much contemplation and procrastination and struggle.
The comments credits goes to Blogchatter #MyFriendAlexa campaign.
Thanks for dropping by. ☺️
I think all creative people or people associated with some or the other form of art go through this phase time and again in life. But the fact is the time when we used to be good at our art was just the time we had more positive circumstances may be. Creativity & talent doesn’t fade away, it just needs a little time to resurface I think.
This happens to me all the time. There was literally a time when I even thought of deleting my blog because I was not able to write anything, But it passed. To know it’s momentary and to keep trying is the point.
It happens with me all the time as well, like it is happening right now.
I went ahead and deleted, or more like bought a website and then sat down again with my best friend called “Writers Block”.
I hope it passes as soon as possible.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
patience is best medicine for you 🙂
Yup.
I am trying to be patient as well. But I fear it might be taking much longer time than it should.
I like your style. The way start summarising the things with things which we don’t consider or mention in out daily life. A nice post. Cheers!
Thank you, Paresh. 😀
I am glad that you liked it. 🙂
Your opening stanza gives the feeling of a novel. Probably you must try a different type of writing. In case what you wrote is true, hope this phase gets over soon for you.
Why, thank you. 🙂
I guess that ‘type’ of writing is what I am aiming for, but not quite getting there.
I too hope the same. Thank you for dropping by. 😀
i liked this post! it shows the utter helplessness of the writer. it reflects ur feeings in its purest form. hope u find a way to light soon! btw I really liked the layout of ur site:) hope that ll cheer u up for now! will revisit this blog soon to find a more cheerful post!
Why, thank you. 😀
I hope so too.
I am glad that you liked the blog layout. It is still a work in progress.
Thank you for dropping by. And will post more cheerful posts. 😀
“Don’t invalidate people’s struggles because you’ve been through worse. If someone is tired after working for 5 hours and you worked for 7, it doesn’t mean that they’re not allowed to be tired. It doesn’t mean they can’t feel what they’re feeling just because you’ve had it worse.”
I just write this today somewhere. Everyone in life is struggling with a battle ..it’s how you face it.
Good write up
Wow. That’s beautifully written.
And you are absolutely right about how we face it.
Thank you for dropping by and your words. ☺️
I tried my best to write a post today. Failed miserably. So I guess I’ll go back to pen and paper tomorrow and try again.
Ditto.
After this post, I have been doing the same.
But I hope that you write sooner.
here’s your 100th Comment here! 😉
i’m not sure f this was meant to be funny but “people sitting next to each other and talking as is they are on opposite poles of the earth.” just cracked me up big time.
Oh, then you deserve a treat for being the 100th commenter.
It was meant to be funny. And I am glad that it made you smile.
Thank you for dropping by. ☺️
Sometimes you aren’t in the right zone. Happens to me all the time.
Yeah. I have been in this zone for a loooooong time.
Welcome to the gang
Thank you.
Well said Ajay. Writing is therapeutic, cathartic, healing, evolving and all the positive things the written words belong to. Somedays, it is an illusion too. The cycle of change.
Exactly.
And yeah, sometimes it’s an illusion too.
Thank you for dropping by.
Writer’s block isn’t an unknown situation. But it is just a phase. You wrote a wonderful post even in the phase of a block. Happy Writing!!!
Yes, it is a phase and I hope to come out of it soon.
Thank you for dropping by. ☺️
Your post holds true for so many of us. I am sure the campaign would get you back to writing more often.
I hopes so too.
Thank you for dropping by. ☺️
Hey Ajay!
‘I crave to write actually and yet I can’t even put one word down.’ You’ve summed it up for me. I hope #MyFriendAlexa’s weekly target help us both get out of this writer’s block. 🙂
Hey Diya,
I hope the same too that we get back on track with writing.
Thank you for dropping by. ☺️
“may be I couldn’t just write anymore…” Have been there! But took a blogging break for two months and I was itching to get back to writing and blogging. But try again..and again! We’ll get there! 🙂
Kohl Eyed Me
Something’s Cooking
Yes, I too am trying to get back to writing.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
Don’t worry. We all face such a situation when we are out of ideas. But its better not to write when you can’t think of anything instead of writing just for the sake of writing. Frankly speaking, while reading the post, I dint feel s if you are going through the saturation phase. It was a nice read!!
MothersGurukul recently posted http://mothersgurukul.com/perks-of-being-a-writer/
Why, thank you! You are kind to say that. But I still have to get back to the writing mode.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
Don’t take stress, you will get through this. We have all gone through it at some point of time.
The only reason for getting a little stressed is because of the time I am taking to get back to writing.
But I hope to get back to it asap.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
A lot of us go through this time and time again and all I can say is keep the faith. Times change for the better many times even when you may not realize it. I can surely vouch for the fact that despite all this you have written an interesting post and am sure the light around the tunnel is nearby and things should be fine sooner rather than later :).
I believe so too. Thank you, you are too kind. 😀
Ajay, don’t be so hard on yourself. We all have these phases, sometimes they last longer, sometimes they are shorter. But what really helps, and did help me recently when I took a break from writing non-stop for almost 10 months, was to put a deadline to the day I’d get back. And to stick to it.
Sometimes we just need a break to come back all recharged and rejuvenated and write our best.
Here’s my post on writing breaks:
https://natashamusing.com/2017/08/taking-writing-break-mondaymusings/
Maybe it might resonate with you.
Loads of light & cheer your way!
If at all I am being hard on myself might be because of the time that I am taking to get back to writing. All I do is procrastinate and lazy around. Yes, deadlines is what I need and a system to follow it as well.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
And I have read your blog post. It does resonate. Well written, btw. 🙂
Very true- these thoughts on writing. I agree with them.
I am glad to know that you agree.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
I was reading the post and had this deja vu feel to it, yes this happened with me before – many times.But honestly whenever we come back from this stage something beautiful crops up in words like how this post is. Beautiful to the core, mirror of what we feel and thing. I love it.
Why, than you. You are too kind to say that. 😀
Alarm. Snooze. Alarm. Angry shouts. Alarm. Snooze. Brush. Rush. Coffee. Work. Coffee. Play. Coffee. Angry Shouts. Work. Cycle. Coffee. Cycle. Set alarm.
This is just my life at the moment. Sigh.
Why sigh?
I think it calls for a High-Five. 😀
If I was the only one then it is a sigh, two makes it a trend. 😛
So, High Five. 😀
Hahahha!! Yes 😛
Very interesting post to read. Keep writing.
Thank you. ☺️
I intend to.
We all have been through this phase once in a life, and The thing matters how beautifully we learn to cope with these kinda situation . And your are doing so well
Why, thank you. You are too kind to say that. I am still a long way to cope up. But I intend to do it much faster.
Thank you for dropping by. ☺️
Writers block – it’s the bane of our existence! And yet, it does happen to the best of us. You’ll pull through this. Maybe with a few pieces that you don’t like much, and then suddenly, you will find your voice again.
P.S.: This was a great free write!
Sometimes writing what’s in the mind is the best way to beat a writer’s block and you have done it nicely, Ajay.
Thank you, Rohan.
I hope I continue to do so. ☺️
Loved the way you have written this article. It makes a simple fact so interesting .. Hope you are able to write soon and all the best. Look forward to your next blog as I loved your writing style ..
Neha (Sharing Our Experiences)
I hope so too.
Thank you for dropping by and your lovely comment. 😀
I could relate to some of the feelings, or rather my Blog does relate to this. Hopefully reading all the blogs is giving me ideas too.
But you did write. This. Now. And although you talk about coffee after coffee and the rut you write so well.
I have been away from my blog for the same reason too. I wish to go to the coffee shop one day to write what my heart says. Coffee shop would be a change.
What I am saying is it happens but writing also happens because only that can heal.
Yes, I did, after a struggle of ages, procrastination and whatnot.
Do let me know if you plan to go to Starbucks, I have free coffee. 😛
I hope so too that it will heal.
Thank you for dropping by. 🙂
Oh! Come. Onnnn!!!!! If this is how you write when you cannot write, I think you’re just being melodramatic like always. And have you considered this possibility that may be you are spending all your time nit-picking others’s comments? 😛
Otherwise, if the case is different and you’re ‘actually’ not able to write, then just wait it out. The line that separates writing for passion and writing as a chore/habit is quite fine. Consider this “thoughtlessness” period as a vacation, a luxurious one since we are always bombarded with messages and thoughts from all sides.
By the way, I loved the way you described your between-the-freshly-painted-white-walls activities 😀 Idleness can make us do crazy stuff 😀
This is how I whine when I am unable to write. And I am pretty sure you would also accept that my whining is getting out of hand a well. -_-
That is an interesting way to look at it and I hope that it works out for me.
Why, thank you. 😀
It was intense by exhilarating to read! Somewhere in this space of time, we all connect. Enjoyed reading this.
I am glad that you liked it.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
We all have experienced the same, maybe sometimes pause is way to great start again.
Cheers
MeenalSonal from AuraOfThoughts
Yeah, I believe the same that a pause would kickstart the rusted engines. But it is taking a lot longer than I had thought it would take.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
Writing is cathartic. It heals like the best healer. May you find your healer back.
Well written Ajay Kontham!
Exactly.
And thank you for your kind words. I hope the same. 😀
Dude 177 comments on this wonderful piece and you say you dont know how to write. 😀
But beautiful piece nonetheless. i think I go dry ever so often too. And write fests like these are so welcome to force us into the habit again. 🙂
Why, thank you. 😀
You’re too kind to say that.
I know right, but somehow I got pulled into something else and just couldn’t follow the part of the fest. But I hope to get back on the bandwagon as soon as possible.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
Comments in a sizable number tells that what you write has something special.Such a person can find each and everything coming on the way as a topic. Very well expressed.
your credit card liabilities may be one of the reasons that pulls back from imagination.So better you don’t buy anything, till your debt gets cleared. And then restrict your expenses as per your purse’s thickness.
You are right. Sizable amount of comments do tell something and that is not always about the writing being special. If you have observed, this is part of a campaign and it required that everyone particiapting in it to read the blog post, whether they like it or not, It was sort of mandatory, even the comments.
But thank you nonetheless.
I am trying to do exactly that. But, it still goes out of my hand. :'(
Happens to the best of us. Don’t work yourself up as it will yield nothing. Just clear your mind, look around, take a deep breath and enjoy this beautiful world we have around us. Look for stories in everything that is happening around you. Maybe the kids playing in the park have a story to tell, maybe that beggar around the corner has a story to tell. Be curious and let your mind drift away for a while
You are absolutely right.
Everything around us has a story to tell and we just have to see/feel it and tell it.
Thank you for dropping by. 😀
Guilty. I was going through my reading list and it made me feel so down to see those people whom I follow keenly not blogging like they used to. What are we turning into?
I know right?
I blame it on this thing called “Writers Block”, but I would be lying if I told it.
I am hoping to get back on track as soon as possible.
I have to check your blog as well. Will do it right now. 🙂
