| Life’s Riddles – The Writer’s Block Series Visualised by archtomato On Thursday, December 7, 2006 at 16:00 Hrs | Minimum B.S. I have writer’s block. I hate writer’s block. It always happens to me during the time periods in my life when I don’t have anything to do. Then, just as my life is starting to get hectic, just as i start to have deadline after deadline after deadline pile on top of my head, the block becomes dislodged and I find myself furiously typing away at my keyboard, spending an hour here or two hours there frantically typing, when in reality i should be working on something else. My worries? Well, i am so darn busy, i don’t even have time to breathe. I usually get fresh ideas for my articles while i am at work. Why not NOW when i’m staring at my word document and have nothing ELSE to do!?? This writer’s block is really making me angry. I read some of what i’d written today. I realized that i’m going to either have to rewrite or delete the article. It just doesn’t fit. The characters are too mean. The hero dies in the end. It doesn’t fit the rest of the article. That is, unless i’m able to figure out a way of making it work. (Article and character development, i suppose) I thought of writing about how Singapore did at the DOHA games. But then again i suppose everyone already knows, and also how Singapore will do in the next games. So moving on, i thought of expressing political opinions at the recent announcement of our upcoming economic enhancement policy which will benefit the poor. But that will probably lead me downhill rather quickly. Finally i settled on writing some thought provoking, heart wrenching article on fighting for women’s rights. But following up on the thoght process, i quickly realized i knew next to zero about them and i really didn’t care. So at this point i gave up on writing an article. My cousin just got hitched yesterday and we had a bash over at Aloha Chalet. Even that joyous occasion doesn’t make me want to write something. I took photos to publish but now i feel that it should probably stay within the family. I have writer’s block. I hate writer’s block. Can you stand anymore randomness? Oh well. Alright, I’m going to try to write something now. Cheers ps: Nitewing promised to be a guest blogger and left me dry. I have sworn eternal vengeance. There will be a backlash.
