The two most engaging power of author are to make new things usable and familiar things new.

Being a corporate writer we thoroughly enjoy our work by taking everyday challenges in stride. Whether it is information gathering, review process, client feedback, meeting deadline, and our colleague’s attitude.

Our passion and flair for writing keep us going also needless to mention EMIs have to play its own role.

In this post, I have tried to gather some Gifs for writers which truly depict our situation and all the writer can understand. Enjoy!!!

Accepting the feedback is also an art. We should keep our ego aside while dealing with the feedbacks, comments etc. Few clients are polite and few are furious.

When your manager fails to understand how much times it takes to write.

The output may be ten pages but I have to tear down four pages in the process.
