So I've been writing for the Odyssey for about a year now and it gets really hard to put together good articles for my deadlines. I love it though, it's like a release for me where I can get everything out that I want to. I can just vent and let my fingers do the rest.

But as all writers know, there are two words that can stop even the best of us in our tracks

WRITERS BLOCK

This is an increasing problem for me every time I start a new article. I'm always so excited and it always ends with me getting about a paragraph in and stopping. It's so frustrating because I can feel the words on the tip of my tongue but I can't get my brain to send the words to my fingers so they can type them. I love to write no matter if its a story, a poem, an article so when the infamous writers block sets in it sucks. I mean why can't I just get my brain to formulate the words that I want to say you know? In fact I'm suffering from this awful creature this week and thats why I'm writing about this little rascal. I mean if I can't write about anything else why not write about whats keeping me from doing something I love.

So you evil little creature I hate you so much all I want to do is write and it's like you are just sitting on my backspace key ready to erase every word, every sentence I write. I mean do you just get pleasure in torturing me? Do you enjoy using my backspace key as a trampoline. I'm sorry to sound so rude but why do you even exist? Just go away and don't come back! I just want to write but you for some reason find it hilarious to keep me from doing that. I could be creating beautiful articles or even funny ones, articles that not only help me but could even help others.

So if you ever have the unfortunate chance to meet this poisonous little shit I am so very sorry. And if you've already met him and somehow got rid of him please enlighten me as to how you did because I just can't seem to get him to go away. I think he's taken a liking to me which I don't see how considering I can be mean in a sarcastic way but no matter what I do he just sits there taunting me. I mean hell at this rate he's going to break my backspace key he's jumped on it so much and as a college student I don't have the money or time to take it to get it fixed. So to all my fellow writers please help me send him to the farthest place from me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
