Wordsworth believed that poetry is the spontaneous overflow of emotions; if his definition of poetry is in any way related to writing (of any type), then what happens with this overflow at times that it totally stops, isolating the writers from their work and daily routine.
A writer's block is surely a curse, which when defined from a fairy tale perspective, is nothing less than a witch's infernal wands' work.
I believe that every writer, at least at some point of his life and work suffers from this curse and just like a victorious prince or protagonist comes out of it stronger and more mature.
Seeing from the paradigm of an optimist, writer's block can be viewed as not a curse but a blessing; it helps the writer takes a little rest under the shadow of green tress which otherwise would have left ignored due to the overburden of work and on the other hand, it also allows the writer to understand his strengths.
Maturity is the most important tool and strength that a writer can achieve at this point the so-thought curse! A flowing stream may never know how it is to struggle to flow, unless the stream is obstructed.
In the same way, a writer is only able to use his talent and art effortlessly when the thunder of writer's block strikes his mind.
Going back to Wordsworth's quote of poetry, writing is also an overflow of knowledge and unconscious emotions.
Poets also face writer's block (or may be in that case it would be fair enough to call it Poet's block).
This block is indispensable! In some cases, it makes the writer feel like a fairy tale prince or princess who is caged and is therefore seeking help by looking out of the turret, trying to call for help to the divine inspiration around.
The idea of writer's block as I just presented before you, might not be all RIGHT and TRUE for most of you, but this is how I have comprehended it, ever since I have stepped into the profession of writing and by using poetry as my hobby.
To be honest, I was suffering from a writer's block just before I attempted to write this article!
