Writers' Block

Writers' block:
It's what they call the lack of ideas. The inability to place words
onto paper. The condition of being unable to think clearly enough to
express things.


I beg to differ


The lack of ideas...? Nope

The inability to place words on paper...? Sometimes I wish this was the case

The condition of being unable to think clearly enough to express
things...? Not. at. all. In fact... These seem to be one of those
rare times in which they can think clearer than ever.


Then what is it...?


The lack of ideas? - How about the lack of wanting to express ideas?

The inability to place words on paper? - What about the inability to
place them vaguely enough?

The condition of being unable to think clearly enough to express
things? - ...More like the condition of fear...

The condition of fear...



...But fear of what...?


Fear of rejection...?

Fear of no one being interested...?

Fear of transparency... of people truly seeing you...?


Fear of self-destruction...?

Fear that what they're doing may not be the right thing to do...?

Fear of the right thing...?

Fear of the self-destruction the right thing can bring...?

Or all of the above...?

No...

No...


The fear of waking...


The fear of waking...

The fear of seeing past the dream world we build around ourselves...

The fear of acknowledging reality...

The fear of reality being more painful than our own worlds...

The fear of reality not being more painful than our own worlds...

The fear of reality itself...

The fear of waking...


Writers' block:
It's what they call the lack of ideas, the inability to place words
onto paper, the condition of being unable to think clearly enough to
express things.

But just because it's what they call it doesn't make it true...

Writers' block...?  Hardly.  How about Writers' blockade...?
