I have sat down with my favorite book of writing prompts. I wish there was some magic wand someone could wave that would just send my writer-without-words ailment faraway. I don't know how many episodes of Sex and the City I've caught on E! the last few weeks and I am so jealous of "Carrie" because she'll hammer out a four sentence paragraph with the greatest of ease that is witty and funny and thought provoking and somehow always relevant to th plot of the episode.

I've hit rock bottom. I'm jealous of fictional characters.
