A brief revealation of the insults of an individual who dares to take writing as a career. How every other person behaves discouragingly and demotivate the nice initiative of a future hero.


A Writer’s Struggle Dec.16 , 1.15 a.m. Rarely do we hear of great writers having lived a happy life. Instead they face more bad times than you or me do in our lives. Like any other ordinary gury they dream and give their wish a try.


Like most of us they do have very frustrating times when writing even a single sentence looks an uphill task. They feel frustrated like any one of us. They are not just laughed at but sometimes even face the hootings too.


In such odd times they search for people who do not remind them of their failures. At times the discomfort is too much to bear. But do they stop trying any more ? No way. Rather they take it as a challenge to prove themselves before all. Life does not offer flowers or appreciations of peers to them. It is the insult that they usually recieve.Generally they are left to boost up their pride on their own. No friend, no family member helps.


At times they confront disappointment ,bad-luck and sometimes even rejectionof their talent like no one else does. Everyone hurts and discourages. But do they submit to these obstructions? Perhaps not .


May be they know that to rise higher than others they got to deal with these things wisely and bravely. Living in vulnerable conditions or among most frustrating people does not stop them from working hard. They try with a self-belief of proving thier true potential on the highest platform. They refuse to submit no matter how much tough they are tested by time or luck.


To them everything is not available instead they have to manage in its absense too. They develop themselves in such an adjustable personality which can work without many important things.Any needful object or facilities are not allowed to become an impediment.


For they know that they have to produce results in any condition. People make fun of them when they mistakenly reveal their plans. Their potential is doubted as if it has been exaggeratedly mentioned.


Many names are given to them by hooters to humiliate. Probably not just to insult but to finisth every single motivation nurtring inside their mind. Any claim of quality is treated as a joke. No one raises hand of friendship but even loved ones behave like a foe.


The life is made like a hell by others. The questining gestures of others look like abuses remarked on one’s face. Ignoring any bleak possibility of one’s fortune people behave like enemies.


Perhaps this shattering experience of life makes one a resilient soul. The hidden writer gives a push of creative flash and the power builds up from within. The heart begins trusting the emerging mind-flashes and confidence comes in.


The consistency maintained over the years starts paying off. The destination seems within one’s reach. Despite loosing in early battles the determined mind gets certain to win.


The pen starts producing great expressions with unbelievable smoothness. First the individual himself or herself get surprised then the rest of the world gets amazed. And when, on some fine day, any big reward is bestowed by the lord’s blessing then this same world applauds.


On that occasion this applause is the admission of the world who ones ‘s doubted this hopless soul. And all this becomes possible because of that resilience that a writer shows in all phases of his or her struggle-filled life. Dec.16 2.35 a.m
