Writer's Block Awaits

The beast

My keyboard is a cinder block
My brain has turned to cake
I'm in that dark and scary place
where writer's block awaits

He's a sneaky thieving demon
My big creative drain
He stuck a straw into my ear
and sucked my little brain

His empty screen stares back at me
when lines and rhymes won't come
He tangles words inside my head
until my skull is numb

He's in the words I never wrote
He's on my empty page
He's the open mic night heckler
who threw up on the stage

He works his evil on this site
when writers disappear
He sells them into slavery
A wicked auctioneer

He's stalking everyone of us
He wants to eat our brains
He's hiding in your closet
He slithers up your drains

Thy wicked demon writer's block
My soul is what you crave
The day I shed this mortal coil
You'll dance upon my grave

Author's Note

He wants all of us

thank you Shivam

Great piece. Creative.
Theres just one thing. What about us demons who have been eating hearts and dancing on graves before this 'Writers Block' creature even appeared. I think we demons deserve some credit.

[Baby Ricochet]

of course. Koodos to the demons

[Ranger Nadaly]

It goes like this (for kimmer): A frenzied, frantic _______ (insert length of time, maybe an hour, maybe a day, if I'm lucky, a whole week) of non stop brilliant gushing outpouring of words (like my 2 pretty damn decent chapters in 2 days) and then...bam...today. 16 words and I'm not even sure I like them. Writer's block. Like the real deal. The crippling can't get my mind around a single thought deal. So. I'm glad you posted this to give my brain SOMETHING to do ;-) I thoroughly enjoyed it.

There's been several times I was so out of ideas I thought I was done. Then something pops into my head. Sometimes it's brilliant, sometimes it's garbage but it always comes. So far anyway.

You're one of the best story tellers on this site Marie. Right along with Sam Dickens and David Lewis Paget. I'm good with funny and ranting.

[Marie]

I never suffer from writers' block, because I don't write from inspiration. There's nothing to block. WHich isn't necessariy good.

[Baby Ricochet]

You're one of the best writers on the wc.

[Marie]
