Writer's block


"Writer's block is a condition, associated with writing as a profession, in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. The condition varies widely in intensity. It can be trivial, a temporary difficulty in dealing with the task at hand. At the other extreme, some "blocked" writers have been unable to work for years on end, and some have even abandoned their careers. It can manifest as the affected writer viewing their work as inferior or unsuitable, when in fact it could be the opposite."
Though I am not using writing as a profession, or as a source of income, but this is what is happening to me. I've not been able to complete a single new poem or a note for too long now, I've got many incomplete works that need completing. Each time I set a goal and start working, I get lost in between the lines and the issue fades away and I get drained in either another issue or life-imposed burdens. It has not been going so well lately with work and life in general that I am rethinking about everything in the past and questioning about what the future might hold and what is my role in this life in general since I am feeling extremely uncomfortable in many ways, work is a very good example of that.

I hope this gets over by soon as I got things in my mind, many actually that needs to get out but the problem simply lies in the order of getting things out when they are out of order in my head, when my head is lost in a very strange mix between harmonic tunes of a chaotic nature.
