It's getting late in the year and I've been stalled for months!

Any form of inspiration welcome.

Thanks!

welcome to the club, I've lost my juice too.

I've done a little bit of successful "juicing" in the past.

However, I knew a key aspect of the "fruit" involved.

WRITERS BLOCK

Ayn Rand says writers block results when our brain tries to execute contradictory commands. That is, one command says DO SOMETHING, and the other command says DONT DO IT. So your brain keeps looping.

So you have to examine your characters and plot, and untangle the confusion.

Get to work, damn it.

I have been given the power to unleash one of the biblical plagues. The Halloween contest opens on October 1, and closes on October 22. I think it would be a good idea to get your entry in by October 12, just to pick an arbitrary date. So if I don't see it by the 14th, I wouldn't go outside much on any of the following days. Locusts can be extremely destructive, particularly en masse. Once they defoliate the neighborhood, they'll probably start on the phone lines. And then after that they start to get a taste for house insulation...

A plague of locusts would make an excellent story idea, btw. Keep it as my gift. And get to work.

It happens easily.

My GF is a professional writer. She likes to look over my shoulder, and she's full of great suggestions. And sometimes I have to chase her away because her nifty ideas bog things down. Take a peek at how much feedback youre getting from friends.

Mood is fine... any port in a storm, and all that.

Better than exploring the psychy of writer's block though that route is possible through Flaherty's - The Midnight Disease.

My advice is write: write bollocks, write shopping lists, write what you are going to do tomorrow and throw out the f*****g TV.

This from a writer struggling with the last dozen pages of a 95k novel - please feel free to ignore my imput.

They are nutritious to eat, by the way-- taste kinda shrimpish, or so I've been told.

Ix-nay on the utrition-nay. She wants to be inspired. I'm trying to threaten her, and here you are offering her snacks.

Don't listen to Stella, bourbon. You won't be able to eat more than a handful before your house crumbles around you. Get started on the story. Now. Don't make me and the boys come over there.
