A professional case of writer's block

So, it's been a while since I've written anything out here. I've prepared my excuses:

  • I've been sick.
  • I've been busy.
  • I've been working a lot.
  • I had to find a new catalytic converter for my truck.
  • I went on vacation.
  • The holidays were crazy.
  • I suck at being disciplined.
Yeah. That. But the real reason is simply that I've been suffering from writer's block. In a turn of phrase from a coworker's observation about one of her own foibles: "Probably not a desirable attribute in a writer."

Yep. I write for a living. And that, I think, is the germ of the problem.
