On Writers Block and Having It

There comes a time in every writers life, where all the inspiration in the world could come and slap us straight in the face and it still wouldn't help. 'There it was! The greatest idea your muse ever put in your lap...' *silence* '...and there it goes'.

The terrible truth of the matter is that the wall that slams down between our imagination and our fingers is crippling. It seems that the disconnect itself is the very thing that will sap away our life energies. Ok, maybe it's just me. Running a writing group and writing your next great novel takes time, energy and creativity, all of which leave when writers block hits.

Because pictures of cats on the internet fix everything...

Now I've written seminars on how to ease the strain of writers black, delivered a few dozen from it's grasp, and routinely try to find ways to spur on others muses; even when my own is out of the office. Today and the last week or so has just not been one of those times.

Come back later this evening for a bit of fiction, that has been a long time in coming...
