Wikipedia
defines writer’s block as a condition primarily associated with writing *Hello
Captain Obvious* in which an author loses the ability to produce new work. Emaaaaaaama people have conditions.
Many
times I will read a blog and the person will be apologizing for having been
away for so long because they had writer’s block and all I am thinking is ‘Wow,
how does that happen?’ I have never been fortunate to get writer’s block *A
case of grass is greener on the other side* although whether I am a writer is a
discussion for another day. Here is why I might never write a post that has an
explanation of writer’s block as the reason behind my abandoning my blog;
1. I am
addicted to writing: I do not think there will ever be a time where I do not
have something to write about. I woke up one day and decided to write and like
they say, the rest is history. There are times where I write and after reading
through I decide that sharing that particular post would be the equivalent of
committing a terrorist act because it would make zero sense to anyone. I am one
of those people that write fwaaaa but
luckily I am decent enough to manage my sharing.
2. I love
writing: There are not many things under the sun that I love, not for a long
time anyway. For some reason, writing works for me so I am able to do so
regardless of what is happening in my life at any time.
3. I am a
compulsive liar: I don’t know if it’s normal behavior to feel terrible at times
for the lies one has told even if one is a compulsive liar but writing allows
me to manipulate stories without suffering the implications of having to
remember details of lies told or the guilt that comes with telling lies *This
feels like a lie*. I call that a win-win situation because I give in to my
instincts without feeling bad about it.
4. Possibilities
are endless: In my very humble opinion, writer’s block implies that one is out
of options and even my pessimist self cannot allow that. It shouldn’t matter
that your initial idea is not the one you eventually went with but that you
have something at the end of the day. For that reason, it is impossible for me
to totally have nothing to write about.
5. It’s all in
the mind: I am a strong mind enthusiast and as a fairly young person surrounded
by older people, I am channeled to work with my mind because a million and one
times I will need my mind to do me a solid. It is because of this that I am
incapable of experiencing writer’s block because as long as I want to write, I
will write.
6. I am the
original wahala master: Genders be
damned, master sounds a trillion times cooler than mistress. For as long as I
could remember, I have been a talker so writing is a channel of sharing my wahala without being able to portray the
accents. Dammit!
Knowing
me, I could go on and on but I am all about that law of contrary behavior so
that will be all. Just added ‘get writer’s block’ to my bucket list, wish me luck!
