Despite my long list of blog ideas I keep, I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired. Whenever I have writer’s block, I imagine myself actually coming to a writer’s block.
Unfortunately, the writer’s block is rarely helpful.

The cartoons are cute! I loved the “eyes” for you caricature! 🙂
I am blogger not a writer (I have been given visible, verbal and silent smirks if i let the word writer slip in) and if there is a term like Blogger’s Block I would be first in line with not only a block but a BLOCK. I started my blog trying to do a ” Julie and Julia” with one blog per day, but after 50 odd blogs and poetry (mostly in Hindi, my national language) I started hitting block after block after block! 🙂

As I was saying to Sophia Loren (this was years ago, when I worked in her stables), it’s not that I run out of things to say, it’s that I sometimes sit in front of the typewriter or a blank page and a sense of heaviness overcomes me. Well, actually, it’s more than a sense, since at the time I weighed 300 pounds and I’m barely 5’10”. But the effort to write seems so great. Then she would lead me off to one of the stalls, and all of the sudden I’d have loads of energy. But it never seemed to last. By the time we had uh cleaned out the stall, I’d be as full of torpor as I was before.
She gave me the stable job because I told her that I needed something to hold me over while I worked on my screenplay. It was a Western that was going to take place in Scotland (one of the so-called “Haggis Westerns”). She wanted to star in it. When after 6 months I had produced nothing, she realized I was as full of shit as I’d allowed her stables to become, and she booted me out on my ass.
Sigh.

Cute illustration! Been there many times. It’s funny though, when you find your passion in life – writers’ block becomes – “let me watch a movie so I can turn it off,” the mind writing that is. Now I have to force my mind to stop writing for a while.
When I started writing about domestic violence, my mind froze in the beginning. I was afraid to allow people to see my writing actually – I did not think it was that good. But, writing, writing, writing makes your craft come alive. Kick the block to the curb and just write!

Taken from my book Mind Manual 1
REMEMBER THIS: YOU GET WHAT YOU GET NOW BECAUSE OF THE THOUGHTS YOU THOUGHT AND THE CHOICES YOU MADE IN ALL THE PREVIOUS MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE.
If you are not happy with what you are getting;
Change thinking patterns,
Change choices,
that change your
ATTITUDES,
which change your thinking
BEHAVIOURS,
Which change
WHAT YOU GET IN THIS MOMENT NOW.

I reckon you need a bulldozer.
I can totally associate with your writer’s block. I have loads of ideas and am ok when I actually focus, but could see myself being very British and queuing with a deck chair, flask and sandwiches…

Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! My biggest fear as a blogger/writer is staring at a blank page when I begin a post. The hardest part for me is getting started; but once I do there’s no telling where I’ll stop.
Great post!

Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! Whenever I come to a “writer’s block” I just envision myself as the girl from Resident Evil. I imagine starting an uprising with the other writers in the line and we overtake the guard and kick down the blockade. Works every time! 🙂

LOL, great cartoons! You depicted writer’s block very well! As a poetry writer and blogger I have found that my greatest inspiration comes when I’m not even thinking about it….keep pushing!

Haha great cartoons, I love that you’re whistling while walking to the writers block 🙂 Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!

This is the first time I’ve been moved to comment on a blog (I’m new to this place). I really love the cartoon (like really). You seem to be making the best of your block! Maybe have your cartoon character cut in the writer’s block line: who does she cut in front of? What do they talk about? I bet they’re texting someone… so, what are they saying?
This might not help, but it might help, too.

Thank you! And yes, maybe the Writer’s Block will become a serial comic that I can go back to whenever I’m feeling uninspired.

I am experiencing the same thing that real writers experience. Maybe I can call myself a writer. This is too funny.

Writers block- the mental traffic jam. The cartoon is great and really describes what’s it’s like. That long and winding queue is never fun…in the metaphorical sense of course. Great post.

Well if whenever you get writer’s block you just post funny blogs like this, you’ll never have writer’s block. Very funny cartoon.

Congrats on being freshly pressed and double congrats on the great comment. While not very helpful, I feel like real writers block could at least be beneficial to take out some of your frustrations on.
