The Pause

The 'pause' is what I refer to as the worst part of a writer's life. A state of mind where he can't think of any single topic to write about, or even if he comes up with an interesting topic to write about he gets stuck at the first step itself. Blank. Everything. That's the 'pause' for you. If you're a reading this and are a writer, I'm SURE that you have either already gone through this phase at least once in your writing life or will go through it in the future. You can't prevent it, can't prepare for it, can't cure it - it just comes and goes and all you are is a silent spectator.

People say we don't experience such breakdowns of streams of thought in your mind if we have a steady focus at the task at hand. And yet, somehow, from the time I started writing this note, I went through the 'pause' thrice and am still going to finish it by asking posing to you this - does this note count as a 'pause' itself ?
