Writing is often viewed as glamourous, seductive, an enticing call to a place which calls for awards and the possibility of being able to change people’s minds with a series of taps on a keyboard or a deliberated word which strikes the right note. The art of writing the meaningful prose has brought down governments, brought conflict and peace to lands and made a lover’s heart soar; and yet there are those who believe it is the easiest occupation in the world, for they don’t see the agony, the self-doubt, the moments where the words don’t arise and the long labouring battle that arrives unseen as writer’s block sinks the author of sentences into the abyss.
