I didn’t want to write this story today
My honest confession
I haven’t written anything for over a week.
I know! I know!
With all the advice I’ve been throwing around about writing every day and being consistent, I am guilty of not doing the work myself.
There’s a reason for that.
It might sound like an excuse. I should have continued writing and working. But I stopped because of the Diwali festival.
I am from Nepal. We have many festivals and holidays. Diwali (or, as we Nepalese call it, Tihar) is one of the biggest festivals in the country. We celebrate it for five days.
I’ve been busy with the rituals and celebrations.
I wanted to keep writing during the holidays because I thought I would have at least a few hours to write. I could have managed to write a few stories.
But I chose not to.
The festival is over now. It’s been two days. But I’m having difficulty catching up with my daily writing habits. I tried to write an article yesterday. I couldn’t. My mind froze.
It’s not that I didn’t have any topic in mind. I have a list of ideas in my journal. Yet, I couldn’t get myself to start.
