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.
And then, to be quite certain it is genuine writer's block, post an adorable kitty cat picture to go along with the "crap"...except...the only thing that would have truly been "crap" here would have been a blank page...with an adorable kitty cat picture. This isn't "crap" my love...this is the process. Well done.

Dude that totally sums it up! I keep reading and commenting on everyone else, day after day because currently when it comes to my own writing..............
I hate writer's block so much especially when it's for something you have to get done. Well I guess there wasn't a block big enough to create your inspiration from a lack of inspiration. Great write :)

written is in there......lol. it is the ultimate cure.......dana

Emotional and raw
