My writing block has not returned per say, however I do have a slight blockage when it comes to writing at the moment. I want to write, I'm in the right mood, I have inspiration and I have ideas/plans. What I don't posses at the moment is the ability to write and make sense. I've lost articulation. My attempt at writing a poem got me in such state that it came out all nonsense and I refuse to even post it here.


I need to be able to write again, the best way it seems is to flex my writing muscles, which is why I'm asking for help. Prompt me. Give me a quote, a word, a piece of dialogue, a couple of names. Anything. And I promise to write at least a paragraph to it. Probably more.
All of my own ideas don't seem to flow at the moment, even this blog post feels clunky.

Anyone? Anything?

The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes

if you can't write then draw something
doodle something that can somehow spark your mind.

Burnie, you forced me to stay awake with inspiration, I‘ve got a whole prologue planned due to you. This is just a little character study.

(Set in the over-ripe apple universe, Modern day, +/- a decade.)

The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Avoiding boredom is one of our most important purposes.


Common people do their best to avoid the feeling of boredom. For them it signifies a mind state of depression and total uselessness that influences their perception of the world and of themselves; that sometimes may lead to change, but more often to a sense of dissatisfaction that prevents them from leading a productive life.

That was – at least – what the observations of Theta’s lead her to believe. She her self however saw no affliction in the active encouragement and cultivation of boredom. She took utter hedonistic pleasure in rare times when nothing had to be or could be done and entertainment got repetitive enough to lose all of her attention. To her this signified the occurrence of having too much time on her hands, which often meant that everything was going right on plan.

Amy, give me time. I'll write for you.

I can't draw to get something moving inside my head. You're an artist - I'm a writer, this however is similar to doodling. Writing wise.

I also think I'll end up returning all of your "ribbons".

i've got one. woot.
it's a line that struck me whilst reading a book a while back. It was just an off hand quote by a minor charater, but it struck me and i can remember it now even though i cant remember the ending of the book.

it is

"Don't decieve yourself about power Inspector, it's something everyone wants"

or somthing to that extent.

Life is about over-coming problems in life for as long as we can, and to survive on our own wits untill we die.

How's that?

You can't write? Have you heard about Grace skipping in her little field of drowning plot bunnys? (Plot bunnys are what you think they are, and they spawn like crazy.)
