A Writer's Block!

Thats what has hit me:) Nevertheless, I hope to break it by chiseling piece by piece. Well, my first chisel is gotta be the foremost of all.The thing called human mind. Some one rightly said 'great if ye know the ways of human mind'. What are we or rather what would we be, if not for the mind of ours!A small example I found today, worth noting down. I used to like the movie RHTDM when it came first.That was some six years ago. But now I am unable to even stand a single scene from it. The movie is the same. But the mind which saw it is different now. Consider this. All things remaining the same, my feeling towards the movie could be benevolent or malevolent depending on the particular disposition of my mind. Which means that the director who can get the best of the best movies, or the writer who could write the most beautiful story could still be defeated by a 750gm glob of a muscular mass staying at the head of the viewer. So how do you expect to win over the mind of the crores and crores of audiences that the artist is expected to encounter? How does one try and guess the preferences of a viewer whom he hasn't even met? Isnt it a mind boggling challenge? Well..As insurmountable a challenge it might seem to be, but the answer is very simple. He cant.There is no use trying to guess or suit the artist's creation to the audience. So then how does one win over the audience? By just sticking to the basics of any communication. When do we feel impressed by a communicator? When the communicator is sincere in his motive. When we feel that the creation is sincere to itself.Sincerity..for the sake of itself.Isnt it a worthwhile point to note??
