Ten Terrible Things About… Writer’s Block.

Yes, The Hook is blocked. Apparently I consumed too much “mental cheese” and now I have to use an old blogging trick and write about being unable to write.

So here we go.

1)  When you’re blocked you find yourself surfing celebrity gossip sites and you come across a pic of Kim Kardashian’s baby bump. Earlier this week, Kim  told Jimmy Kimmel that she and baby daddy Kanye West plan to keep the baby “as private as possible.” And then she releases a posed, professional pic of her bump….

Kim Kardashian is God’s gift to paparazzi, bloggers and anyone who loves vapid, brain dead celebrities…

2)  Writer’s block makes you question your creative process. “Snooki can “write” a book, but I can’t come up with an original idea for a post?” What the hell?

3)  You can only write about not being able to write for so long… Then you have to pony up and actually write something original. That sucks.

4)  Being blocked hurts my frontal lobe. I hare when my frontal  lobe aches…

5)  Your keyboard mocks you like a sex-starved wife mocks her impotent husband. Great imagery, right?

6)  You consider launching a new blog dedicated solely to pictures of Alaskan snowstorms…

7)  Searching the web for ideas takes you to dark places… Like this.

8) You consider writing a post consisting entirely of the most popular search items that lead people to your blog. Like these:

Search Views

meghan fox classy 4
porno kim kardashian 2

porno sex pull 1

9)  You didn’t actually think I was going to finish this post, did you? I’m blocked bitches!

  1. You made me laugh ;) I know all too well about the writer’s block… I might use it as inspiration, actually!

  2. You? Blocked? There are no happenings at your establishment? Come on! It can’t last long. I’m blocked. Word Press’s prompt is stupid. It’s a made-up word and I don’t do made up words. Now I have to come up with something on my own. That’s blocked. I don’t have a kick-ass job to go to. I don’t have the Kardashians to write about. You can do this. You did pretty good for being blocked with this post.

  4. OMG, I love this post!!! I thought I was going to spit my coffee out of my nose I was laughing so hard. Thanks so much for this great laugh on a friday. And I wm going to repost. :)

  5. Reblogged this on AdaLamar's Blog.

  6. I love your blockages Hook!

  7. Even in the blocked state you are so fun to read! Lol at leaving #10 off.

    1, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Those images made my occipital lobe throb…especially 7.
    4. My occipital lobe feels for your frontal lobe.
    2. Anyone can put words on a page. My occipital lobe will never be assaulted by Snookie’s so called book. It will be waiting for your next post though.
    3 and 9. This too shall pass.

  8. Hook blocked? Surely not! You got all this blocking but still make us all laugh, and giggle on a Friday.

  9. Gah! The horror! Why would you put a link to Justin Bieber Zone? Do you not love us anymore? I need brain bleach now

  10. “Your keyboard mocks you like a sex-starved wife mocks her impotent husband. Great imagery, right?”

    Not that you’d know anything about that, right? RIGHT??

  11. I held my mouse over the #7 dark places link and saw “Justin Bieber.” I was not hooked! I tend to click everything, but I was rick-rolled once, so …

    Pretty great post for being blocked, Hook. :-)

  12. Does this mean its now the right time to call you a block head??!

  13. “Porno Sex Pull” hmmmmm….
    Have you ever tried stream of conscious writing? My mind sort of works like that anyway, but what you do is keep a pad of paper and pen next to your bed. When you wake up in the morning, you write the first word that comes to mind and your brain will form sentences. It is the coolest thing ever! You won’t use it for your blog, but it exercises the creative part of your brain. That is how I always wrote my flash fictions. I made up a random sentence and let it rip from there!
    You could broaden what you write about and you have included your family on occasion.. have fun with it!

  14. Thanks, Susie! You’re a real pal!

  15. Embarrassing – I totally wrote a post about my search terms. Not so much from writer’s block, but because I’d only just discovered that feature and couldn’t believe that anyone other than my mother was finding my blog!

    Also, you’re an evil bastard. Can’t believe I now have that ‘this’ you led me to on my search history. Just can’t resist a click tho – it’s like a big red button taunting me.

  16. Sorry…
    But you actually made me laugh by calling me an evil bastard!
