My muse…

I’m amazed of the side effects of having writer’s block. It truly should be researched more. I would think scientist would find it … interesting.

I have spent several days now staring at the same words over and over and over again. No matter what project, what story, it’s always the same. I’m unable to finish anything I start. At some point, I just get to a spot and my muse just throws up its hands and cries, “Okay, I’m done!”

Anxiety, endless bags of doritos, pepsi, 81/2 x 11 paper strewn across the floor, a few white hairs, and a few tear soaked hankies later — and I’m still… with writer’s block.

So what have I learned?  You don’t control your muse… your muse controls you.

Amazing.
