Considering this is my first encounter with the dreaded rut; I don't really know what to do to get out of it, or even how to slightly combat it. Is there a set path people who write take, or a procedure they follow to get out of it?
I don't think I've even had this sort of thing with drawing, but then again, I suppose I don't do much creative drawing. If I feel like I want to draw, I just have to find a picture I like to copy. The only difficult thing there is deciding where to start, and that usually takes a matter of seconds. The only problem then, is motivation.
I feel quite awful about doubting people who have had writer's block now, because I actually hate this. I'm not even a real writer and it's really quite frustrating. I've come to the 'New Post' page a million times and I can't seem to get much further than a title about a topic I have nothing of worth to say about.
5 Examples of Un-Usable Titles Paddy Has Come Up With:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
I've been clicking 'New Post', and typing in this drivel every time, then sitting looking at the blank post box waiting for something to happen. My writer's block is getting so bad that it probably took me about 20 minutes to think of these titles, and they weren't even as boring or inappropriate as I had hoped.
1. My friends surprisingly don't annoy me; well not enough to warrant me writing "Thing" about them (I noticed the mistake after saving and putting the picture on). Plus when your friends piss you off, you sort out between you rather than the classic 'scathing' Facebook arguments. I love my friends. They are the bomb.
2. Paedophilia is never acceptable, well not unless it's jokey. I think saying something like, "Mary-Kate and Ashley looked hotter when they were 6" is hilarious, but kidnapping and raping children is just not really very nice. I suppose it's kind of okay if the kid was a total hottie like Maddie was, or if they have potential to be hot later in life; sound investment! I kid! I kid!
3. The Bernard's Watch idea sounds like it has potential, but when it comes down to writing about it, I think it would be so painfully unsubstantial that no one would read past the first point. Talking about it in person would be fine, but I don't think anything I would say would sound innocent if typed out. I'm a good boy, I swears it!
4. Nobody likes the rain, full stop.
5. This is the only one that I might actually consider writing about, but I think it's one of those things where the stories probably aren't funny without acting the situations out, and doing the voices and stuff. It doesn't help that I am just outright terrible at acting that sort of thing out; I somehow manage to make the most interesting story unbearably boring. But maybe you'll see a post to this effect at some point. Don't expect it to be good though.
Well I've now had enough of me crying about my inability to write about anything even remotely good, so I can't even begin to imagine how few people have actually read up to this point. I don't think I would have.
Maybe I don't have writer's block; maybe I just don't have anything to say any more. Nothing particularly irritates me for any reason that could be considered entertaining or funny; I've not been watching much TV because I've been busy; I have nothing of any relevence to anything to say, and I hate it.
Come on second wind...
