Agony of a writer

Every good piece of writing is the outcome of the intense pain and suffering within the mind of the author. Same to various art forms too. It is like the pain a woman suffers to give birth to a child. No, I am sorry, it’s more than just a pain, but it’s like a battle or a tumult within the mind of the creator. If your mind is too hurt, or has suffered a lot more than usual, the outcome also would be greater. Again, the success and authenticity of that writing depends on how much the reader can involve and relate that suffering to his life. The reader is always keen to identify himself somewhere in the art form. When he finds himself nowhere he passively leaves it. But it doesn’t mean that you have to write about a generalized or commonest thought or activity to gain more success. But if the reader can identify himself even with a minute description in the writing, you are successful.
