To whom it may concern,
Please excuse Elyssa from all forms of social interaction for a period of no less than 7-10 days. Patient has what is commonly referred to as “writer’s block”, a severe medical condition which causes a variety of debilitating symptoms, including but not limited to:
- Stress induced stomach aches and migraines
- Unpredictable mood swings
- Passive-aggressiveness
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Repetitive complaining and wordless whining
- Compulsive composition of bad haiku
- Abuse of the backspace key
- Internet trolling
- Not giving a single fuck
Until such time as the condition is deemed to be in temporary remission it is best to avoid contact as much as possible. If interaction is necessary, approach with caution and fresh scones.
I prescribe pulp television, adventure movies and chocolate. ;)
Oh yes, LOTS of bad TV. I had the day off from work yesterday and I spent it watching TV and being absolutely unproductive.
I hear you Hun. 😒 NaNo and The Dreaded Writers Block cause many of the above symptoms as well. Plus…..wanting to hurl iPad through un opened window. 😁 ((Hugs))
Yes, if my computer wasn’t so new I’d probably have launched it through the window as well… still might!
NaNo’s a curse in disguise. I can’t quadruple my output without making the pace unsustainable, and I’d rather write a consistent amount each day than go on a death march and then burn out for the next several months.
Hope you get writer un-blocked soon.
Yeeaah, that’s why I’m not a big fan of NaNo. I guess that format works for some people, but it seems a bit counter intuitive to me.
