My writing is an infected tooth. When I think about writing I get a sharp, shooting pain that goes right to my brain. I guess the only way to extract this infectious feeling is to get a root canal. You know what that means, surgery! The root of my problem is my creativity. The only solution to this deep throbbing pain is to read and strategize. But in this pulsating pain I can be quite agitated, as anyone with an infected tooth would know. The pain is so intense I can’t even bare to think. Trying to conquer the deep-rooted problem isn’t easy, its even more painful just like the root canal to get the infected tooth out. After my surgery and when I am over my problematic tooth, maybe than I will be able to enjoy writing pain free.
