Writer's Block

Writer's block is a phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to continue writing, usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity - Wikipedia.

I'm having terrible writer's block. I can't even write blog entries (well, except to tell you how I'm having a writer's block), it's how bad it is and don't even mention poems - my poems sound contrite and cliche.

Also I've been trying to work on short stories and you know, often before I go to bed, or when I get a glimpse of interaction between unusual people, or unusual events, I write them in my head, i start the stories, I think about what I will write next, I think about story structures - how it will pann out, I think about how to describe the main characters, secondary ones.

So I end up with a bunch of beginnings, no middles and no ending. And then I will start to write and I will sit there, words not forming, ideas not coming out of my brian, my witty writing is not there, my sarcastic coincidences and unsuspected tragedies all gone - hanging in the air above me, waiting for me to get through to them. Awfully frustrating!!

I hope it goes away soon. VERY soon.
