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.

:hugs: You aren't alone. I think we all go through it at some point or another. Cut yourself some slack, grab a notebook and write whatever comes into your head - even if it's 'what should I have for dinner', and give yourself permission to suck.
And don't be jealous of a fictional chick. Some writer somewhere made her up after years of slogging through the same things you're going through. Those zippy paragraphs she dashes off probably mean years of work on the part of the person who wrote the script.
Hang in there.
