Not Write

 There are many reasons why I don’t write:

Blogging. Pitching. Jogging. Bitching. Reading stuff that others wrote. Jotting ideas on a Post-It Note. Peer reviewing. Prepping classes. Looking at things whilst wearing glasses. Reviewing books. Composing rhymes. Skimming through the New York Times. Chewing. Chatting. Cleaning. Cooking. Eating. Drinking. Talking.
Sleeping.
Walking dogs. And feeding cats. Wearing pants. And shirts. And hats. Tweeting. Texting. Armchair surfing. Painting myself blue and dirty-smurfing. Shopping. Driving. Flopping. Skiving. Jumping from a plane to try skydiving. Playing games on the PS3. Eating pies. Drinking tea. Sending mail. Phoning friends. Despising those with Mercedes Benz. Watching movies and TV. Stealing ideas that might work for me. Immersed in fiction round the clock.
And moaning I’ve got writer’s block.

Just brilliant. And that all I have to say about that.

Thank you :-) I had fun writing this one.

Dirty smurfing. Amazing.

Ashley Lister said...

Wow! I had no idea that was what dirty smurfing meant. I'd been operating under a different definition.

Oh brave new world.

Dirty Smurfing? For once I fear I'm too innocent...

Fun post Ash :-)

Ashley Lister said...

Yup. Far too innocent. That's what I was thinking.
