Creative lethargy!!

Open your laptop and just start typing in your ideas.......well I thought this was all writing was about. But how wrong I was........'writing' is just as laborious a process as making a movie or painting on a canvas. Sometimes the idea goes all awry, sometimes the idea is in place but not the words, sometimes pangs of self doubt come visiting, sometimes skepticism about the whole idea creeps in mysteriously. 'Writing' is in fact a journey - you keep evolving with every word you write. You write, delete and again write - in search of that elusive 'magical' sentence or expression. You try hard to be subtle yet not be abstract - the thin line you need to tread often blurs and you find yourself deep in either territory. You try to be intelligent and try to avoid pitfalls of illogicality but often a simple idea is complicated and its impact lost. So writing is really a struggle..........a lonely struggle.............you sometimes enjoy it and also sometimes loathe it..............but at the end of the day you would not mind getting back to it. Often you go through phases of 'creative lethargy' - a phase where you want to write but still cant write..........(just like what I am going through now) But at the end of it all.........the satisfaction of creating something new makes you undergo the struggle again and again!!
