...a blogger (again)

My blog posts have been rather thin on the ground of late (insert snow related joke) and the reason for this is because I have taken a hit recently; something has gotten the better of me - something that I thought would never have the chance to get the better of me. No, it's not the swine, it is writer's block.

Yes, writer's block has knocked me for six and I am at a loss as to how to resolve the issue. See, I never thought I would ever be a writer and thus never thought I would be suffering from said affliction. I mean, I am not saying that I am a literary genius or anything (Good old Dr. Seuss' got that covered) but I suppose I do 'write'. I am 'writing' now. Actually, I am typing - I thought I should be honest. I do wish I was scrawling with an inky quill in a leather bound note pad though (with only the light of my solitary candle to see by, and an old dog for company). That ain't the case though, so lets not get sentimental about it, now where was I... Ah. Writer's block.

It came as rather a shock the first time I realised what had happened. I sat down at my desk, with a cup of steaming coffee in hand and my creative head on, all ready to bash out another humorous-yet-clever-with-a-hint-of-melancholy post for you all to get your teeth into when suddenly my brain froze. Actually, just one part of my brain froze (the bit that comes up with the humorous-yet-clever-with-a... you know the drill), the rest of it went BESERK. I had no idea what was going on! Why couldn't I write anything?? Why couldn't I THINK of anything to write?? I tell you, the experience is not a nice one. I shouldn't wish it upon anyone (except maybe Piers Morgan).

I am still in the throws of this affliction. Yes yes I know I am writing this but this doesn't count as I am talking about my writer's block, and not actually writing about anything else - you see! It has taken over my brain. Argghh. In fact, I am even running out of things to write about writer's block...this is a very sorry state of affairs.

Send your remedies this way please. Let's have this sorted by Christmas, eh? That's the spirit.
