How the fuck do you get over a bad case of writer's block? I've got it so bad right now it's like fucking paralysis. I sit there in front of my computer and I can't even get a sentence out. I have been doing this for days now.
It didn't use to be so bad for me. I have two 100K+ word-manuscripts (don't ask, they suck) and I have had a previous job writing children's stories for a teaching company. I wrote dozens of those things. I have written for newspapers. I had a column in my local paper when I was seventeen. It was hideous garbage but that's not the point. This all used to come very naturally to me.
But I am so epically fucking stuck now trying to write one small novella that I want to bash my head against a wall. I can't figure this out. I think it's gotten too personal, but I'm so frustrated trying to make some another anonymous person have a good time with a ten-cent pulp story that I'm losing my shit right now. And I'm having a hard time walking away from it because I'm obsessed with the idea now. I don't know if that means the idea is good or not.
Does any good come of this? Has anyone here had a similar experience? When you feel really super-unable to fucking relax and let things go? I know this sounds stupid as fuck but I'm basically looking for a good piece of advice or something to crowbar me out of my own anus here.
