I am not a Writer
When I started reading fiction, I went deep into the characters, I felt like I am writing these stories because the books I chose to read had stories that were almost relatable to my observations and daily life. I started feeling like a writer and wanted to get fame like well-known writers.

| Stressed Writer |
To get fame, I began writing a story of my own experience in my teenage, I wrote three to four pages and left it till today. I was not able to go step by step and deliver what I wanted to share. But the feeling of being a writer didn’t leave me, so I started to write little articles on current issues of those days. My articles were not concrete enough to be published. Another drawback of my articles were that I was not able to conclude them effectively. Even After getting some courses of writing and hardship, I cannot have my own useful write-up to show people or publish at any relevant platform. There are some factors such as ideas, content, emotional attachment and conclusion which play hindrance in writing.
Ideas:
When I think of writing, I am short of ideas to write on. I start giving time to myself to ponder upon the world and think of something to write upon. Several times, I don’t cross this step of writing.

Content and Emotional Attachment:
Once I get an idea/topic of my interest, Most of time, I have only emotional views on the topic. Emotional attachment to the write-up is not always acceptable by audience. Even when my content is free of my emotions, I don’t have enough content to organize it in such a way that it can be shared with people.
Conclusion:
Conclusion is of very importance in every format of writing. If the entire script is presented well but it is short of effective conclusion, reader gets annoyed of the writer. I am lacking this skill of concluding my thoughts in a systematic way so that reader gets moral from them. I have left writing on many topics at this step too.
Today when I look back into those days, when I used to think I am a writer, I smile on my adversity of worthless ideas, lacking concreteness in content-having emotional attachment to it, and poverty of sound conclusion. There is so much to work on these factors to become a writer. Till then, I can openly say I am not a writer.
