Writer’s block is something that I have suffered from in the past, and it usually lasts for a couple of weeks or so and then it vanishes in to thin air, only to reappear a few months down the line.
However, this time it seems to be quite different. I think its been months now, since I last produced some really compelling content and it seems that the only thing that I am able to write about is photography and that too, in limited scope. When it comes to rest of the things, my mind just goes blank and most often than not, I get bored or distracted into doing something else.
It may be that I have run out of inspiration and ideas, and I am badly in need of something new and fresh or maybe that I am trying to speak through photographs or even that I have become even lazier! But whatever it is, it isn’t good for me, considering that I make my living running websites, most of which rely solely on the content I produce!
While I know and hope, that one day, out of the blue, this dry spell would be over and I would finally be able to write something that I can be proud of and people will love. Till then, its a sad battle between staring at the blank word document, lowering earning graphs and Youtube videos!
Ah, the pleasures of being self employed…

Been there right now myself.. Especially makes it hard when I have deadline for magazines!
Thankfully I do not have any deadlines to work with, but still it sucks, knowing I am loosing money, by being in this state!
