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.
