The Block.

The Block.

The bane of anyone who ever called him- or herself a writer. Poets, novelists, journalists, all know and fear The Block. It is immovable, ineffable; it strikes without warning and with no consideration for anyone's needs save its own.

Animals flee from its presence, children cower in its shadow. It drives strong men insane and leads gentle women to anger. Innocent characters lie dead in its wake, others stagger back from the world beyond to wander the land once more. The Block leaves behind chaos and uncertainly in a once-sensible world.

To make a long story short: I can't write, and it's pissing me off.
