Ideas tussle to come forth, jostling for my attention. But busyness keeps me on my toes to pay heed to them. Finally, when I do sit in front of the laptop, they turn frigid and decide to abandon me, in retaliation. I mull on helplessly, as my thoughts suddenly seem to have gone into hibernation. I stare at the static page and it glares back at me with a mean coldness. My fingers go numb as I make a desperate attempt to type on the frozen keys. With no choice, I wait for the inclement weather to pass, in hope that tomorrow’s sunshine will thaw the frosty barrenness from my mind’s creative corner.
mind’s sterile landscape
words drift to oblivion
a transient season
The last line is beautiful, Mam! And what a terrific Haibun! Writer’s block described in a style that is unique to you. Simply Marvellous! 👌

I am guilty of the same too, Radhika. Not only writing, but am guilty of hibernating even on reading posts and commenting..
Apologies to all my readers 🙏

I’ve been good. My first book has done well even though there has been no promotion. Getting lots of calls, queries. Pretty good feeling. Just wanted to share with you.
You must write a nice book which warms the heart. It will do very well, given your knowledge, writing skills and most importantly empathy.
