WRITER'S BLOCK

What's the opposite of?

Writer’s Block?

Every time I read a post or an article that speaks of writer’s block. Having it, curing it, or just plain dealing with it, I wince. I then feel the need to be a smartass by commenting sarcastically, like this.

I suffer from a little-known disease called Anti-Writer’s-Block. Symptoms of this hideous affliction go something like this; Showering less to write more, inventing excuses to miss racketball, and you love racketball. Knowing damn well that your car needs a wash and a load of clothes needs to be cycled through. Then it's your eating habits feeling the pinch as Top Ramen is the go-to. You find yourself becoming more of a recluse even though you dig people.?

Other symptoms of Anti-Writer’s-Block are; Writing a script for television or social media because you have ideas that mesh nicely with a product or brand. You do this time-consuming, writing, creative thing even though you have no chance of submitting any work for consideration.

I'll share a tiny Example: Written for the job search company; Indeed.?

A mid-thirties job-seeker in casual-semi-formal attire points to the camera/audience, spoken in a deadpan, stern, yet approachable voice, the actor empathizing the punchline.

“There’s only one thing I don’t like about work, And That’s Looking For It!”

The narrator follows with authority (James Earl Jones)

“We hear you,,, Indeed we do.”
