What to write?
Often bloggers and writers face this question: What to write?
Should we write about personal tragedies and triumphs or should we wax eloquent on general topics? Focus on the intimate or the general? Create fictional set-ups or write about real issues?
Daily, we go through this dilemma, sometimes facing the writer's block, that mother of all inertia. Yes, sometimes we are actually at a loss of ideas and words. Everything seems empty and meaningless. Words seem frivolous. This happens particularly when we are going through troubled times, during personal loss or depression.
And then, one fine day, we decide to write after all! Collecting our thoughts and scattered words from memories and experiences, we start weaving yarns once again. Creating fiction, writing non-fiction, playing with words, all in the day's work for us.
And so we write on, whether anyone reads us or not.....
