Fight Night
We circle one another slowly. Both watching, listening...waiting for an opening. A weakness.
Just me and her.
With every circle the walls close in, forcing us face to face.
She's smirking.
My palms are sweating and each beat of my heart echos in my ears like thunder.
I hate that it's come to this. But there is no other way. I've tried talking...I've pleaded. "I just need more time! "
She smiles..."Not tonight baby duck. Tonight you are all mine."
And so it goes. A war has been declared between me and writer's block. To the victor go the spoils.

I hear ya! Yet you wrote about not bebing able to write so well...I applaud you.
Our writers blocks are at war byotch!
Just kidding Linny - have a glass of wine, it tends to open the flood gates.
I rarely have anything interesting to write about- but even in your writer's block, its still funny as hell :)
I've got to agree with Cheryl... Fantastically wonderful way to express yourself.
That doesn't sound like writers block.
Good stuff!
Writer's block, huh?
I had a God awful case on Tuesday.
Today though, I'm just taking it easy. Shopping online. Working on the template. So nice to take a break. :)
You still reading King?
You could always do the assignment in there (the psycho killer wife). Might be fun to act out, if only on the page. ;)
And I tried to do it. Got two pages and gave up, but really, I'm no good with assignments and prompts. It's gotta start in MY head, you know? Otherwise I lose interest.
Anyways, I liked this piece. Good imagery for someone who claims to have a block. ;)
Damn...baby's crying.
(Sigh)
Hope you find some inspiration, Linny me girl. I'm off to find the Tylenol. ;)
Happy Thursday!
Your friend,

It's hard to get just the right inspiration...I have another blog that I call my "writing blog" I update it maybe once in a blue moon because when I write I have to find just the right words and stories for it. Usually, I go outside and get some inspiration from the outdoors. :) Good luck!
welcome to fight club
the first rule about fight club is that you don't talk about fight club
You should look into freelance writing opportunities. Or pitch some article ideas.. do you have a copy of the Writers Market? Are there any local mags or newspapers you could email or call? You need to get your stuff published... you have talent. Unless you already have things published.. in which case, I'm a babbling idiot....
there you go - a soap opera about a writer and ther writer's block... i like it already...
lol Jenny. You're not a babbling idiot. I'm not currently getting anything published...I was just talking the other day about trying to figure out how to go about it. Still working on that part of the idea...but thanks for the compliment. Means quite a bit.
I hate writers block.
i always have writers block...bite me
lol
You are a doll! There is something so cute in the way you write. You should write books for a living, you would be RICH!
LMAO!
thats why i decided to start my "Pennsylvania Dutch" series at my Mommyhood blog, and the "potty" series at the Quick Question blog...
b/c, i dont have to rack my brain TOO hard for ideas, cuz i already have a basic premise.
She won the battle, you shall win the war. But did she really?!, after all: nice post! :-D
When I had writers block, I created "Blogger Confessional©"*.

heh, i'm pretty sure my writer's block has never called me "baby duck" before. actually, no one has. i like it though... i'm totally going to call someone my baby duck sometime now :-)
And here I thought this was going to get really naughty.
Writer's Block, she's a real bitch.
-Oh and the wisdom teeth, oooh. I remember the chipmunk cheeks, bleeding mouth, pudding and applesause, and throwing up as soon as I got home and when the drugs wore off. Good times.
Happens to everyone...
I had writer's block last week when my creative writing project was due.
Then my best friend turned 22, we had a penis pinata, her roommate nearly breaking her neck trying to do a one man kegstand, and then dragging us all to a strip club for no apparent reason.
The writers block went away after that. I don't know if that should make me feel better or make me worry
tear her shirt off! oh yeah, baby!!
LOL
Writers block? Ummmm... when I have it I'm like "yeah I don't have anything to write about" LOL!
Good job! hehehe!
You don't have writer's block. You just wrote this. Just keep going and see where the road takes you.
