It's not so much writer's block -- it's more like writer's crawl. I sit and read and stare and sit and read and then I go through and make all the tiny changes, the typos, the misplaced commas. Then I sit and stare and tap my fingers on the veneer and sit and read and stare and then....I write one sentence. then I get up and go to the bathroom or get more water or get a cookie. Then i come back and sit and stare and type, type, type. After two minutes I stop. Then it all starts again.

The work is getting done, just at a glacial pace.

I got chinese takeout for lunch, just like characters in a scene from my story do^*. My fortune said " you have a deep understanding of other people's needs and feelings." Um, thanks, but I want to know about my future. Sometimes having deep understandings aren't all they're cracked up to be. I think I'm going to give myself a tarot reading instead.

^*Don't worry, there's no scene involving fortune cookies in my fiction. Things aren't going THAT slow that I need to resort to such devices.
