You Know You Have Writer’s Block When...

 
  • You’ve been staring at the cursor so long the screen saver kicks in.
  • You’ve been staring at the cursor so long you begin to think there are little people living in your computer, trying to communicate with you via Morse code.
  • You start talking to the cursor.
  • You type: “And then the planet blew up and they all died.  The End.”
  • You can’t even think of anything to add to the list of signs you have writer’s block.
  • You decide to give up writing and became a Buddhist alpaca herder in the Pacific Northwest.
  • You decide to submit the book to the publisher the way it is and pretend it was written by an author who died before he or she could finish the manuscript.
  • Your heart starts beating in time to the blinking cursor.
  • There are cobwebs on the keyboard.
  •  You waste time writing a list of signs you have writer's block!
