There are different source of inspiration for me. Wandering aimlessly and visiting some unseen land can feed me with amazement which help me while describing a scene. Reading classics is a permanent inspiration to me. watching movies, listening and reading great author's interview, going on new places- it can be anything.

To be a write, you need five elements: thoughts, strong emotion, use of figure of speech, diction and dignity of composition. Among these, first two are natural gifts for an artistic mind and later three skill can be nurtured. So, read as much as possible and learn newness before to sit down and start writing. Just writing and writing can make your story feeble and unreadable. Reading can endow you 'what' and 'how' you should write.

A few days ago I finished my second draft of second novel and left it for a few days before I sprint to edit. These days I'm working on a new story and I'm enjoying this journey as if it's overflowing out like a flood pour down its water. I can't take pause, nor take a long resting halt. I write everyday reactively. I make ensure to manage a good length of times to consume in reading. I finished Salman Rushdie's Quichotte, A Man called Ove by Fredrich Backman, Milan Kundera's and some other. I'm on the mission to finish a bunch of books. I'm more focus on Victorian fiction authors' works. I listen podcast of storytelling and poetry recitation before to go sleep. It helps me a lot while I sit for writing.

Writer's Block is a myth or real?
It's myth if it doesn't happen with you, if it happens, you are in the process of cooking your story, shaping and developing your characters, plot, setting and adorning it in your faculty. Feeling being incapable to pen down the idea which is too poignant in your mind and too spontaneous to flow on, you find your conscious self reverberated with dubious and conflict ideas how your story can be so easy.
A writer sojourns through various valleys of creation, so sometimes he halts, broods, breath, doubt about diverse paths, dubious about art of creation: amidst all these process, what should be unshakable, his crave for recreation.
What we call 'Writer's Block,' that's process of steaming and cooking of story fairly- from raw idea to a well-developed plot.
Every artist has their own perspective to look at the things and give it their positive angle, so, why the 'writer's block' should feel discriminated. Let's accept it and celebrate it with a cup coffee, tea. (sorry if i could cheer with a translucent wine glass. 😀)

To dream a world and recreate it on paper and convince other, there is a world beyond what they are undergoing and surviving. It's a privilege, which only few blessed ones are given.
