All Blocked Up
I was just over at "What the Fork?" and posted a complaint about blockage and my desire to be free of it. I'm referring to a mental block when it comes to writing. For me, writing is a means of escape from life's difficulties, a way to work out problems, and a means of sharing with others. It's also how I reset and recharge.
Sure, I write in my blog, but it's factual, not fiction. I need to lose myself in my own imagination, but it seems I've closed that door, locked it, and now I can't find the forking key!
I think part of the problem stems from not reading. I've tried, but it seems the blockage also prevents me from getting lost in a good book. Hell, I can't even seem to find a good book to read. I've subscribed to Kindle Unlimited so I can find and read a lot of stories, hoping that by reading some good fiction, it will grease my cognitive gears and maybe some good fiction will start pouring out again.
I enjoyed the phrase in Batman (1989) by the Joker, "This town needs an enema!"
In my case, I would need to change it: "My brain needs an enema."
