I've had a very difficult relationship with writing too and I deeply related to this article! Every twist and turn in my chequered career has been an attempt to run from writing - an attempt at bravado that sounds something like "bah! who cares if I am a failure at writing, I can try to do something else" until.. I see that I have been brought that much closer to having to write again and again (even if about failing again and again). Phew. Strangely, there has been healing too but that is a longer story.. Thank you for writing this, Dyuti! I have always enjoyed reading your work...
