//------------------------------// // A Bad Case of Writer's Block // Story: Lazy Crazy Dayz // by BatwingCandlewaxxe //------------------------------// "Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria..." Ugh, no, absolutely not. Gah! I finally have enough free time to sit down and write a bit, and now all I can come up with is trite nonsense. Stupid writer's block. Haven't written anything new in ages, and now nothing is coming. Coming? Maybe a clop fic? No, the last three I wrote were clop fics, I need something new; and preferably less brainless. C'mon, think Twilight, think. "Looking up from her counter, BonBon noticed a new face in the shop, a mint-green unicorn with a golden lyre cutie mark..." Bleah. I have no idea where to go with that. Think, think, think, think, think... nope, still nothing. Let's try something else... "When Vinyl first met Octavia..." Eh, everyone writes that story, it's just getting old. Well, I could always try and find inspiration in older literature, maybe something there will spark an idea. Hrm, maybe a crossover? Let's see... "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single stallion in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a mare." Hrmph. If I'm going to rip off another author, I should at least rip off something that isn't already ripping off something else. "It was the year they finally immanentized the..." Sweet Celestia no. I need much better drugs before attempting that one. "We were somewhere around Ponyville, on the edge of the Everfree, when the Poison Joke began to take hold." I don't even want to think about the drugs I'd need for that one. "Stately, plump Prince Blueblood came from the stairhead..." Sigh. Yeah, I could probably pull that off; but there's no chance in Tartarus anyone else would ever read it. Argh! Why can't I think of anything? There's got to be something... "Call me Twilight Sparkle..." Meh, way too self-insert. Ugh. Guh. Maybe if I start hitting myself on the head with something hard. "There was me, that is Twilight, and my five droogs, that is AJ, Rainbow, Pinkie, Rares, and Shy; and we sat in the Canterlot milk bar trying to make up our rassodocks what to do with the evening..." Now that's just the frustration talking. Still, maybe thinking of something a little more.. intense, is the key to breaking this block. "Sweetie Belle, light of my life, fire of my loins." Oh for... now I'm just creeping myself out. "It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they executed the Changelings, and I didn't know what I was doing in Manehattan..." Sigh. This is getting seriously depressing. I can't believe I've wasted all this time with nothing to show for it. "It was a dark and stormy..." Idiot. Bored Beyond Belief "Spike! I'm going out for a while, no idea when I'll be back...".
