Working in an environment that requires you to write more often than not can be both rewarding and frustrating.Half the time, you must take on the characters of those you scribe for, like a well-trained thespian imitating real life. I swear, sometimes the words and scribbles float around my head in plain sight, a cry for help to anyone willing to take on the burden..Then there are those exciting moments, because let's face it, words are powerful. At the tip of a finger, the world can be revolutionised, hearts and minds changed, passions ignited, and purpose found. Treaties are not sealed with digital signatures but rather the old ink and paper. There is something sacred and profound about this gesture. With the simple stroke of a pen, you can create a whole new world, challenge the status quo and build a bridge to uncharted territories.When the ink runs dry, however, as it sometimes does, there are no profound words and life-changing narratives to share; just a blank page that hasn't been tampered with. At times, a writer can feel they have nothing left to give. Alas, they have been bled dry, no Pulitzer prize necessary, but an opportunity to get away from it all. The scrutiny of each word, each sentence, the placement of a comma and period, the relevance of your content and its context and of course the unapologetic opinion of those who read your material. As a writer, you possess the ability to comfort or disrupt. You bear the responsibility of scribbling life-altering excerpts and speeches. Does it ever end?.You see, sometimes it's not writer's block but the need to step away, take a moment and free the words that have been caged in your mind. It's about giving the ink a well-deserved break - if well-contained, it won't dry up, right? Allow yourself the time to declutter your mind's mine and have a fresh perspective. In no time, you will have something new to write about!
