Inside a Writer’s Mind

A Confession.

Article written by Nazia Tabasum A

This article is about how every writer feels inside their minds and I would like to elaborate those feelings through my favourite poem, that I wrote.

Troubled Writers

There are certain problems that only writers may know,

They suffer from flooded thoughts, that fall like snow  

Others may think that they are the most silent,  

Not knowing the storms inside their heads which they supress 

They excel in writing when their emotions are at peak,

Struggles with writer’s block, makes them feel weak

Sometimes, thinking about the contents to write, they lose their sleep  

Finally, crossing all these problems, their words come out deep

There are certain problems that only writers may know

They suffer from flooded thoughts, that fall like snow…

Although it’s cool to be called a writer, there are many struggles that they go through.

Thoughts of writers are always occupied and they observe even the minute events and incidents happening around them and use those as their themes.

Others may think that they are the most silent,  

Not knowing the storms inside their heads which they supress…

Most of the writers are introverts and they show interest in listening to stories rather than doing verbal communication. Since they have a lot of patience in listening and empathizing, they mostly get unheard at times.

Through their writings, they show their emotions, but there is always a hesitation for them, even to open up to their close circles.

They excel in writing when their emotions are at peak,

Struggles with writer’s block, makes them feel weak…

Writer’s block is a threat to writers. Empty minds and blank pages always drain their energy, but they still cope by portraying their writings well when they are completely in an emotional mode.

Sometimes, thinking about the contents to write, they lose their sleep…

There is no time frame for thinking, especially for writers. Most of them get ideas especially at night and to convert those thoughts to writings, they are even ready to sacrifice their sleep.

Finally, crossing all these problems, their words come out deep…

Writers are always underestimated. Amidst critics and comments, they make immense efforts to write quality writings that not only convey how they feel, but also describe the emotions of readers along the way.

Hope these facts can give a clear picture about how every writer feels and what’s inside their minds.
