Writers Block

Writers Block Silent, blank, empty mind; Devoid of inspiration, a big waste of time. For all I wish to do, is begin to write. But all the words I cannot think of, have eluded my mind. So here I sit, in front of the computer screen; Just waiting for, a divine intervention. Or maybe some divine inspiration. But all I have on my mind, is a woman called Divine Brown. I’m supposed to be a writer, but I can’t even write; I can’t think of anything, original tonight. All I can think of, is what other people have already said. Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this, maybe I should just go to bed. Come on brain think, of a single sentence. Maybe that will lead me, to write the rest; Or maybe I should, just take a rest. But I have so many words, I wish to get off my chest. But where to begin? I’ll see what I’ve written so far; Well I’ve written the title, I guess that’s a start And I know what the plot is, but where do I begin? With who? What? When? Or Where? Why is it so hard to think? Ok so He’s here and they’ve just done that; So all I have to think about, is what happens next. Ok yeah that’s good, I’ll just type it before I forget. No, wait that’s not good enough, maybe a drink will help. Now I’m on my third bottle of wine and I still cannot write; I guess I’ll go back to bed and try again tomorrow. But wait, here it is! My thoughts are all falling into line. Yes! That sounds good. They can do that; Damn! There goes my phone. Now where was I, oh yeah that’s right. I had it just; come on what was I going to write? If I sit here long enough, it’s bound to come back to me; But I’m feeling so tired, I can no longer think. I’ll try again in the morning, I’m too tired to care anymore; Maybe I shouldn’t, be writing this book. Maybe there’s something else, that will be easier to do. This whole writing thing is too hard; I guess I’ll just do a job that requires no words. (C)2011 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
