Writing about writer's block... LOL

Here's a sure-fire way to beat writer's block: Write about it! :-) We don't get writer's cramp these days -- We get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! LOL Prolificity in writing comes with voracious reading. Other forms of input are: Telly and radio. By the way, if you're listening to radio disc jockeys rattle on about thingummies then you DO NOT have to sign up for Prof. Kev Nair's Fluency Development Course! ;-) Word of mouth stories / anecdotes are good but always question / doubt their veracity. Crosscheck on the Internet. Rumor-mongering is a serious vice. Okay--I'm really stuck now. LOL

Anyway, read Mister Stephen May's book: Get Started in Creative Writing. That book is quite insightful. For newbies -- like you and I. It's okay to be a wee bit unserious during your apprenticeship -- You'd goof around. :-) I'd tell you one thing: Try and reinvent the wheel -- Conventional wisdom tells you that -- that's an exercise in futility. But -- You'd always build a better mousetrap -- mice too are evolving like all of us -- getting smarter... And, EVIL! ;-)

For instance: I'd improvise my robot and turn it into an intelligent mouser. Believe me: It's possible. Natural biocontrol process has malfunctioned / conked out -- Our smart alternative is Robotic Pest Control! In any case: Kitties have lost their predatoriness. Mister Darwin would've explained this phenomenon! Mister Desmond Morris could definitely demystify this: Phenakism of mice and unnaturalness of cats! (You'd also read: How Snakes Lost Their Legs).

Assisted suicide is a headline-grabbing thingy these days -- But mice shouldn't be euthanized! Should be neutered! :-)

Insectivorous plants like Venus's flytrap? Yep. Insecticides? Nope.

I'm a schizophrenic -- clinician certified! -- So you'd excuse my mumbo jumbo -- idiosyncratic Blog Posts...

My point is: You'd zap writer's block by writing a chunk of text. It doesn't have to be meaningful -- always. Word salad like this would do. Never STOP writing. We won't get: The Man Booker Prize -- anyway! And, our readership isn't in zillions or anything like that! We're pseudo-intellectuals -- We're not hero-worshipped! Paparazzi don't tail us! Fans don't throng around us! Our Facebook Page is deserted!

An ape like me could do this -- Why couldn't you? Ape me! Aping is good when it comes to writing!

End of blah-blah-blah! :-)

Logging off.

See you -- real soon.
