Writers block!

It makes me stew.

This is the first essay I’ve attempted in days …

and I haven’t got a bloody clue!

We have all heard the ‘experts’ say

“ooohhhhhh ….. writers block doesn’t really exist!’

But I beg to differ.

Writers block is very real

It is solid

It’s as true as a stinky Kipper!

It is so solid in fact, that if an ‘expert’ accidently got bashed on the head with one ...

it would likely render them unconscious.

Now wouldn’t that be a shame!

But rather than staring at the dreaded blank page

we must begin pen-chipping away.

Not apportioning blame.

After all …

It’s just a fishy stories game.
