Writer’s Block
After I get close to 1000 words my brain hurts. I read and re-read what I've written and can't figure out a way to finish the story.
Or I realize the character age and action doesn't match.
Or I get annoyed thinking people assume child characters are only for children's books. Or boring old men write stories about kids that are self-conscious and utterly joyless.
Or I just get bored.
This seat is too hard. This screen is too bright. This desk is too messy.
Too many people keep interrupting me.
Not enough people are interrupting me.
I have that thing to go to tonight.
I don't have anything to go to tonight.
Netflix has too much new content.
Netflix has has too much new crap.
It's too quiet.
It's too loud.
So-and-so never revises and he's a best selling author.
(In mystery, but still.)
Such-and-such novel is awful, how'd it get published?
I could totally write a better story than that.
Except I have writer's block.
