Plunger please

A block seems to have formed. Odd phrases, words and character sketches have congealed in to an unrecognisable mass lodged in some u-bend of the mind, refusing to budge. ‘I thought we were friends’ I plead. ‘Come on, move why don’t you?’ ‘I created you!’ I thunder ‘I can destroy you too’. I can hear them smirk and giggle among themselves.

‘I don’t need you. There are others better than you – you’re a dime a dozen.’

But there are no others.

So I wait, pen in hand.

(I know, there's nothing more boring than someone writing about writer's block. Say that fast 10 times)

Hi Shoefiend,

So here's a question: what comes first - the words or the idea?

TCC - Please pass on Dr SFK Baspam's details

MW - That's what I hope!

venkat - Will def check out the link! Thanks.

Karrvakela - Usually the idea. But some people say that when you're stuck you should just write anyway and that something may come of it.

ricercar - I shall pass the plunger on when I'm done with it

Charu - :) A little link love is good for the soul!
