Something Happened Yesterday

Writer's Block Strikes Again Something Happened

As you may have guessed from the title, something happened yesterday. And it was lowkey devastating. But also a little amusing so I decided to share it with you guys. Because if you know me, you know I love sharing both devastating and amusing posts.

I generally read posts by other bloggers and a lot of what I read is poetry. And last night I read a poem by another blogger that was so good it made me not want to write poetry anymore. Like I just felt like why even bother. Nothing I write will ever compare lol.

It was like when Lil Wayne heard Eminem’s verse on Forever and went back and changed his. Except I’m not a millionaire rapper. Not because I lack the skills, gold necklaces or swag to be one. I’m dripping in all three. But mostly because who has the time. Being a rapper sounds exhausting.

Anyway, so that happened. And devastating may be exaggeration. More like numbing. But life goes on and I’ll still read and write poetry. But I really have to say. The writers on this platform are so incredibly talented. You guys are so amazing and don’t even know it. So keep writing and some day you may just devastate the world with how great your writing is. And I mean, isn’t that every writers goal at the end of the day?   If you enjoyed this post don’t forget to like, follow, share and comment!

What is your favourite poem? Have you ever read something so well written your writing pales in comparison? Let me know in the comments section below because I would absolutely love to hear from you!

    Yeah, it happens to me, too. Not so often on this platform (but I would love to come across great blogs like yours more!), but when reading others’ literary works. I don’t get devastated by the fact that there are great authors out there, though. What devastates me is knowing I don’t have time or energy to be as great 😌 Let’s face it: writing as a solitary activity requires a lot of energy and time, which aren’t at our disposal if we work full time and have families to take care of. I’m not saying this as an excuse, but that’s the reality. Writing can also be for the privileged 😉 All in all, you’re doing just fine, and don’t forget to stay awesome 🤩

    Well Lil Wayne can’t be compared with Em. Both are different and both are amazing.

    Similarly, I will never compare you or your work with anyone. I can’t, because you are sooo good.

    I first read your work in September 2021. I was confused what was going on. I did not followed you then, because I wasn’t getting any idea what to expect from you.
    Then as I started reading more of your work, I understood that you are so comfortable and capable with multiple topics, niche and styles.

    You became my favorite then. Because I adore your work. I love how a single person is capable of giving such a great variety.
    Yes, I got jealous a few times, even tried to copy your style.
    But then I realised that you are completely something else.
    So I never tried to compete.

    It’s like I as a blogger cannot ever match you, but I feel like at the same time, I can always keep improving my work.

    Your work and your blogs are something special and I always look them with great admiration ☺️

        Hey, if you want to try something with the poem. Then, there’s a poetry challenge by a fellow blogger+ friend. She conducts such challenges every month. This month the poem should be about a bird from the part from you live. I think I never saw her on your posts and vice versa. But, I am sure you know Rebecca cuningham- fake flamenco. Such challenges will prove you how good you are dear PG

                Well you just need to discuss a topic
                Ask a question
                And let people know that they can respond with a seperate blog.

                For example – You ask people what food/food items they find themselves identical too…

                You write your answer in that post itself.
                Then ask people to write a post about it.
                I feel it will be fun.

    Hi Pooja,
    Now imagine the moment – when you’re so excited to tell your readers – what you know.
    It affects the flow of your writing. You end up writing a good blog post in one go.
    Some writers, masters their art, they know how to their reader’s response on their writing.
    Others might be interested in writing less but of great meaning or importance.
    Your blog posts are original. And I liked the nature of simplicity involve in them. You try to help everyone. You share your pain with us.
    This kind of reader & writer trust is very important for a long lasting (and impactful) conversation.
    “Enjoy reading. Enjoy writing.”
    Also, improve on your own.

I have stopped comparing myself to others though. I understand that it is a journey. You’re a fantastic blogger. You touch on so many different topics. I learn from reading your stuff.
    I think I’ve learnt to applaud the courage of anyone who starts a blog, and places themselves in the firing line..it’s takes some cojones to place your work for the world to see.

    Doubts are a part of life. It helps us reflect and improve. As a dancer, I cannot help but compare myself with other dancers. With every generation, the flexibility is literally touching ceilings. I can’t make out the difference between a contortionist and a gymnast and a dancer. But working with dancers with different dance styles, made me realise that everyone is unique and imperfection hides the key to your unique self.

    I felt that way a great deal, and still do from time to time. The trick is, know that like our looks, styles, and personalities, we also have different ways of writing. For example, I may never win a Pulitzer Prize, but I am writing for a living. People tell me that the way I write, it makes them feel like they are in a room talking to a friend. I can live with that! I know my limitations, but I also embrace my strengths. When I work with new editors I tell them — no sports, no board meetings, no politics. Instead I write about health, human interest stories, charities, animal sanctuaries, etc. I bang out a story super fast and editors tell me, “You write fast!” They also barely edit my articles.
    So embrace your uniqueness. When you see someone who writes better than you, look to it as inspiration and not a threat. Enjoy their writing! 🙂

    I feel the same way about a great song. “The Song Remembers When” is a song that I like for its imagery and poetry.

    You have a following; you can’t quit now, lol. I notice that your following numbers keep ticking upward, so you must be doing something right.

    I never understood poetry, especially the analysis penderamick, iamberamic, diaometer quatro sustemic themes, and imagery; it hurts my brain. (Trademark misspellings on purpose) I could never be a poet, lol.

    I think there is room for a lot of great writers in this world. Also, just because you think one poet or one poem is the best there is, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for one more great poet or another great poem on similar subject matter or written in a similar style. Unless a writer is officially in a competition, we shouldn’t think of this as a competition in which all writers are ranked.

    Please continue to write poetry since there are plenty of rooms or space for everybody. There are so many women, especially young women, nowadays who are searching for new poems who speak their mind and talk in their verses. I think most of the writing (95% or more) from the past are not so relevant to the life of contemporary women. People love your writing and you can write different things from this poet who you admire. I hope you continue since I love your poems.

      I agree, older poetry is no longer as relevant to our lives. Especially for women. Thanks so much, will definitely continue writing poetry. I think this just inspired me to write better.

        Yes, there are so many different content and styles and experiences and emotions through which you can express yourself. You will surely find an area or a niche that is uniquely yours, different from the person you admire. And since most of the writing from the past, poetry especially, is not suitable for modern women anymore, there is a lot to explore and to express and to enjoy. Yes… poetry especially is young women’s domain…

          Thanks and I hope so. You’re right most writing actually from the past isn’t for modern women. So I guess we need writers to fill that void.

    That the beauty of reading other blogs/poems is we can always take something positive from it and reading something that totally blows you away also can help us improve or own skills that’s why I guess I love your work so much….Keep up the fantastic work Pooja!!!

    I enjoyed this post, Pooja. Yes, I often find writing that is so good I wonder how the person gained so much talent. I’ve heard that to become a better writer, become a better reader. It makes sense to me as, the more we expose ourselves to well-written content, the more we are able to compose it ourselves.

    I feel the same way, too, Pooja, and sometimes those negative thoughts are hard to swat away like pesky mosquitoes. 🙂 But then I flip a switch and realize we’re all unique as individuals, and so are the stories and poetry we share. If writing is our passion, then we shouldn’t allow self-doubt to throw in the towel for us. We all have something to say, something that hopefully will touch others. Keep writing! I love your posts and poems. ❤️

    I really enjoy reading your blog…your heartfelt sharing, Pooja…this is gold as well…I love how you wrote “Not because I lack the skills, gold necklaces or swag to be one. I’m dripping in all three.”…so cool 🔥

    True, there are so many great poets on this as well as on other platforms…but one thing I don’t relate with is comparison…I don’t compare coz it really doesn’t matter to me…your bad could be my good…it’s a perspective, right?…what matters to me is to remain true to myself & to write from that space…the art would die one day if we keep comparing…coz we can never be them (/ write / paint / dance / sculpt / etc etc like them)…but we can be us…it’s just my perspective, how I see things…thank you for letting me share this…pls keep expressing the way you want…you’re simply amazing ✨❤️✨

    Don’t be too discouraged, maybe you just need a look inside to find your own voice. Maybe you should study other poets and the like (I highly recommend the 300 Poems of the Tang Dynasty and the ancient Chinese text, “Book of Songs”, both you should be able to find easily).

    Either which way, keep going at it. I think you got what it takes!

      Thanks so much. I do have my own voice, I don’t think that was the issue. But rather that the writing itself was really brilliant. Or the idea for the poem. If anything it encouraged me to do better. Thanks!

    “It was like when Lil Wayne heard Eminem’s verse on Forever and went back and changed his. Except I’m not a millionaire rapper. Not because I lack the skills, gold necklaces or swag to be one. I’m dripping in all three. But mostly because who has the time. Being a rapper sounds exhausting.”

    I love when you’re in this kind of mood! 😅 This paragraph made my morning. It’s how I write on the rare occasion I have an ounce of self esteem.

        Good thing with poetry is that sometimes you just like someone’s way of writing it. And it doesn’t have to be world-class.

    “Except I’m not a millionaire rapper. Not because I lack the skills, gold necklaces or swag to be one. I’m dripping in all three. But mostly because who has the time. Being a rapper sounds exhausting.” Lol.

    There are so many talented writers on WP (yourself included) but I totally get what you’re saying. I feel that way often, too. But I always gravitate back to enjoying the challenge and the self-discovery that sometimes comes out of it. I almost never know what I’m going to write about until I start writing. “Wow, Dusty, you’re really hung up on trees at a subconscious level. What’s that about?”

      Lol thanks.

      I am like that too. At first I was like I’m giving up writing lol but eventually I just get inspired to do better. I rarely plan what I’m going to write too. I think that just works for some people.

    I know people say “don’t compare yourself to others”, but seriously, it’s so nuanced whether you do, and you even do it unconsciously, or maybe as a joke. It shouldn’t be such black and white advice. Instead it should be about what to do in different situations
