Writer, Blocked

Stuck. Blocked. At a loss for words. Taking a break from writing. Taking a hiatus from writing.

BLOCKED.

Excuses, do you still need to have excuses? Maybe you do. List a few of them out.

Tired after working all day. Vision problems (eyes). Worried about my health, Penny's health, the dog's health. Vision problems (imagination). Missed the last writer's group meeting, no deadline. Not taking any writing classes, no deadline. Not inspired. A dingo ate my writing. New England Winter. New England Spring. Exercising too much. Exercising too little.

Facebook, and the rest of the internet.

STUCK.

Maybe I'm drinking too much. Maybe I'm not drinking enough.

When did I last update the blog? January?

Well, what month is it now... oh, Christ.

BLOCKED.

Read this article about writer's block again. It's better than this one. Read them both again, and bookmark them.

Head fake. That isn't helping.

STUCK.

'Type up' a blog post. (Don't say the W word.) Remember why you started this blog in the first place? No? Read that first post again.

Blocked?

No. Not completely. Not now. Now that you recall how often you've been here before.

Stuck?

No. No, thank you. Not anymore, not today.

Writing again?

A little. Let's just say it's a start.



Thanks for reading,

Stephen
