Let’s be perfectly honest.
We’ve probably all faced it.
And we’ve managed to overcome it.
Until it returns.
Again.
And again.
And yet again.
Writers’ block.
Our worst living nightmare.
Just when you have that brilliant idea.
The intriguing novel, the endearing memoir, the terrific short-story.
Destined for greatness.
Top of the New York Times best-seller list.
Six-figure advance.
Movie options galore.
Only one small problem.
You can’t find the right words.
In fact, you can’t find ANY words.
Knowing a blank page is no publisher’s dream.
You go into action.
You open the cupboard.
Spy a packet of your favorite biscuits.
The ones with the delicious chocolate coating.
And the crunchy insides.
And it actually speaks to you.
It says, “Hi there, welcome, we’ve been waiting for you.”
So out of common courtesy, you open it.
And take one.
Nibble. Nibble.
Bite. Bite.
Soooooo yummmmmy!
You take a second.
Avoiding discrimination, another.
And another.
And…
You return to your desk.
Make yourself comfortable.
Adjust your chair.
Lean forward, back straight.
Ready, set…
….but no go.
The page stares back.
Impassive.
Unimpressed.
Still blank.
Blankety blank.
