Oh! Tease us with potential – what lies behind that dark doorway?

One of the many obstacles to us writers…

This made me smile. This is the disease lurking inside all writers’ minds, just waiting to pop up at the most inconvenient times. XD

I love this. So much. Excellent!

I would comment, but I’m not sure I can be bothered just now.

(only kidding. Nice take on it)

Stop encapsulating my exact current feelings in a wonderfully imagined concise simile, please.

LOL ethelthefrog! And thanks everyone for the kind&funny comments.

lol. The more concise the piece, I feel, the harder it is to write well. nice job. I really enjoy the image of the door being left ajar. Because of it, at the end I sort of imagine the writer leaving his writing via door.

Hey I stare at the cursor when I can’t write as well! Lol. I’ve been stuck this way for some months now. Ah well, it’ll come back. Sometime.

Thanks for the entry, however (cough) brief =) Good work on the commenting thus far. Keep it up!

And then he rewrites the piece about someone who burns the midnight oil. :)

Ohboy.

Writer’s Blooookcccckkkkkk! I know this feel! I will get an idea, go to write, and much like this, simply stare at my screen.

It’s very annoying.

Well done!

Ha. Given the (wonderfully fun-to-say) title, I totally should’ve seen that coming…but I didn’t. That made me grin. Thanks.

Cute entry into the challenge. Hope you made up for the brevity here with some lengthy comments.

Certainly put a smile on my face seeing that haha

I was going to write something like this, then I thought I’d leave it till later, and I missed the originality slot.

And out of the shadow of the door an invisible hand extends, grabbing you by the mind, dragging you away from the completion of your work.

Huh. I thought I commented on this story a week ago. Like I fully intended to comment, and I must have gotten distracted… I think I might have a problem.

Me too CMT,KOM. Between the title and the content, I think this is pretty brilliant. Like others before me, I enjoyed the imagery as well as your grasp on writer’s block. Perhaps by defining it and trapping it in a Ficly, you have tamed it now?
