Writer's Block

100 word story

I'm finally set, ready to go. *Phone Rings* It's Aunt Kathy, boy does she have the gift to gab. I guess I've a moment. Finally, an hour later, I'm all caught up on the family gossip. Let's begin! *Ding* Damn, dryer is done. Off to laundry room. Gosh, it's seems a batch of clothes take forever to fold. But, now I'm done, let's start. *Scratch and whimper* Lucy needs a walk, poor girl. So, we traipse through the neighborhood. Returning home, I clean up my desk. Maybe I wasn't meant to write today. I guess I will try tomorrow, instead.

I really liked this! So real in the telling of how the daily throngs of just living can get us side-tracked...we can write about it all another day...Enjoyable read.

[Francis Orion]

Thank you. I'm glad, I'm sure it's something we have all experienced.

[Philip Muls]

Excellent. Procrastination at its best.

[Francis Orion]

Haha Thank you!

[katie]

Ha! I feel like this nearly every day! I'm a full time mom and I swear I've never worked this hard in my life! Great piece!

[Francis Orion]

I feel your pain, I have a 3 year old. In my original write, I instead of "laundry," I had "a batch of toddler clothes" but had to cut back to hit 100 words! Lol

[katie]

Haha! It seems impossible to keep up with their clothes! Really, I feel like I'll be doing laundry until the day I die! And I'm slowly getting to your works. It's a little more difficult today. A certain tiny person won't nap. :/

[Francis Orion]

Oh my favorite!!! Lol no worries, I'm behind myself. Thanks

[Briana]

I feel as if you have said something very honest about yourself and anyone who finds themselves in a trap of to-do's. Very well done indeed. The story feels rushed, but this only adds to the effect. It's so well don't in its visuals that I could almost close my eyes and watch the events play out. Lovely.

[Francis Orion]

Thanks, it's challenging to use only 100 words to tell a creative story. Yes, while its fiction there is always something of myself in them. I appreciate your kind words.

[Stars and Whales]

This is amazing. Your work is definitely original and intriguing, as well as give me a feel of your personal style! I like it! Keep writing, and never stop. You are an amazing writer.

[Francis Orion]

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.

Life often gets in the way doesn't it. The real problem is when there's time but nothing to put on the page. At least for me anyway.

[Francis Orion]

Yes, I have that happen too, sometimes. Thanks for reading my story.

[alifeacoustic]

Yes, the feeling we know so well. Always something on our mind but the thing we want. Always something needs doing, at the expense of putting things off, and when we finally get that pen in hand, you'll think to yourself "What was I thinking of?"
Great short write, can totally relate to this.

[Francis Orion]

Thank you very much.

[Francis Orion]

Something we have probably all experienced as writers.
