Given my utter lack of choice in the matter, when I am struggling with the block, I simply don't write. There's a lot going on in anyone's life at any point in time and there are several other pressing things I go to - like doing the laundry, ironing my clothes, fixing my wardrobe, arranging books in my bookshelves in alphabetical order first, and then redoing the sorting by author names, instead. During my most recent block, I sorted the books into a read section and a to-read section which overwhelmed me with the amount of books I own, but am yet to read. It's also a good time to start using that gym membership finally!

However, I have found ways to reduce the block. I have found that reading helps a lot. I try to insert myself in the author's mind to understand what motivated him to write a certain section the way he did and how would I have done it, instead. That helps get those creative juices flowing again. Other times, I let myself get bored out of my mind by not doing anything for days at end and it stimulates me to get out of the rut and it motivates me like nothing else!

It lets you live many, many lives - make decisions you wouldn't or couldn't in this reality and also live out the consequences of the choices you didn't make. It's like tapping into a parallel universe to meet yourself in an alternate reality. It also helps you understand your decisions in the past that define your present - like a cathartic meditation.

On a personal note, for me, a thing that I enjoy a great deal about writing is that it makes me feel fortunate for having found my one-true purpose. I love that I don't have to struggle over existential matters like what is the purpose of my life and what am I doing here. It's awesome when some idiot at a party asks the uncomfortable question - 'what's the one thing you are passionate about?' and you have a one word answer ready and don't have to search for a long winded explanation that would make you sound smart! You can quickly go back to being lost in your thoughts and that chapter you were working on.(less)

“There is nothing wrong in theorizing and hypothesizing; a writer is not an escapist, he creates a world he would love to be in. A world he would rather be in.”

“DubaI Call GIrLs 0581548100 DubaI Call GIrLs pages in DubaI

. I came to Dubai Dubai to visit and I was looking for a Dubai Dubai 'Call 'Girls in Dubai Dubai to rock my nights in UAE. I Have found the real Dubai Dubai 'Call 'Girls numbers on Google and I have been told by the 'Call 'Girls agency Dubai Dubai manager that the same 'girl will come to my hotel in Jumeirah 'Call 'Girls agency and if I want another Indian 'Call 'Girls in Dubai Dubai I have to choose one other 'girl from Pakistani 'Call 'Girls in Dubai Dubai by Marina 'Call 'Girls Service In Dubai Dubai UAE. A nutshell review for Hot Call Girls in Dubai Dubai. MY experience was superb with them this is the only recommended Call Girls service in Dubai Dubai Call Girls and again then Russian. so overall my practice was magnificent. The price is also moderate per hour. The plus point is the "Girl comes instantly to your location doesn't matter you are in Bur Dubai Dubai or al Nahda or Dubai Dubai or any area she comes undeviatingly to your hotel room.". Definitely, recommend the Call Girls agency. A nutshell review for Hot Call Girls in Dubai Dubai. MY experience was superb with them. This is the only recommended Call Girls service in Dubai Dubai with verified Call Girls. I am using their services from the past 6 months, they never ever disappointed me in any way. Let me put this way: I mean, if I asked them to provide me with Russian Call Girls, they fulfilled my request. Even Pakistani Call Girls or Indian Call Girls in Dubai Dubai, they have their own drivers who bring the Call Girls in less time to any area in Dubai Dubai like Bur Dubai Dubai, Marina, or Jumeirah, even in Jebel Ali as well. I'm writing here everything after experiencing their services in all conditions.”

Call Girl Services In AjMan’s Red Light Districts Before engaging an Call Girl in AjMan, there are several factors you should contemplate. You need to identify the type of Call Girl that suits your needs and decide how you wish to reach out to the woman. Think about whether you’d prefer to go out with the girl by yourself or with your friends, and also if you want to see her at her place or while you’re en route. Many factors lead people to travel to AjMan. Some enjoy the city’s vibrant culture, while others participate in trade shows. However, a part of the city is referred to as the Red Light District, where individuals partake in indecent activities like Hira Mandi, brothels, etc. The red light district in AjMan has always been present, but it has gradually grown and become more structured over the years. It is widely recognized that this area has also turned into a hotspot for sex trafficking. The police have tried to curb these actions but have seen little success due to the area’s strict code of silence.”
