Writers block, ugh

My late friend Dan had a cure for writer's block. He told me to go to the local yuppie sports bar, a sbrightly neon lit as you can find, with as many screens as possible. look around you. Really look. And then say, "yeah, my life sucks, and I cannot find a single thing of inspiration right now... but. At least I'm not THAT guy over there. Or THAT one. etc."

Repeat as necessary, he told me. I think this technique may work in several different settings besides yuppie sports bars.

sounds like a plan

[Marie Anzalone]

Dan was no fool. God, how I miss him, still.

Interesting exercise. I'll have to try that someday.

[Joyce S. Greene]

Looks like your cat's hooked on the net, too, BR. Tell him to get a life!

[Baby Ricochet]

Lol! Will do.........

Time is the only cure or something that upsets or pisses you off unfortunately.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure

[Seamstress]

I hate that feeling, I've been living it for a long while now.

[Baby Ricochet]

Writer's block is a drag

[Eddie Phillips]

Whenever I get writers block I just write nonsense until something comes out. The thing that gets me with it is that sometimes things come out that should never be written! LOL I usually just start writing insulting messages about idiots I have met...then BOOM! I get inspired. LOL

[Baby Ricochet]

I write silly rhymes for writers block

[Sam Sin Sepultura]

Good haiku, definitely not "nothing" right here. It's always good to take something like a block and turn it into something. Good job.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Sam................................

Funny, I wish I could write one about writer's block, I've had it for weeks now.

[Baby Ricochet]

I like to write really silly rhymes when I have writers block. I'm sure there's folks on this site who think I've had writer's block since the day I started posting.

[rhythm&blues]

I rarely do silly, and I doubt that sir, seems no matter what genre you write in, it's widely accepted.

[Salar Majak]

so here's what i do:
i make a mess out of my room, and i sit within the chaos, i close my eyes and think, then turn the tv on and start going through channels, noise helps too, just don't think about writers block, think about it as a phase that will past, and it will :)

[Baby Ricochet]

I write silly rhymes to break it.

[Salar Majak]

i think that it all relates to the idea, if you know what to write about then it would be easy, so i try to find ways to find an idea

[Jo Todd]

I say don't force it, don't worry about it. Nothing bad is gunna happen if you don't churn out another poem. Just go about living your life, eventually something will happen that you will wanna write about. So what if its in a couple hours or a couple months. Better to write something worth reading than to just write s**t for the sake of it.

[Baby Ricochet]

thank you jo

[Clockwork]

I like the wit in this one, especially the play on the idea of having nothing in the third line. I think this is very fitting of how writers block feels overall. I went through a really long stretch of it until recently. Glad I stopped by to give this a read.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you for stopping by clockwork

[Sirius King]

the next line should be...

Ok,I think I'll take a nap...lol

good one!

[Baby Ricochet]

I wake up from naps outing syllables sometimes. Lexus thinks I'm crazy

[Baby Ricochet]

That's counting syllables. So I can count but not not spell.

[Sirius King]

lol.................................................
