This writer's block is driving me crazy.
My thesis draft is due in 3 weeks. Which SOUNDS like a lot of time, but really isn't. Especially since the hours and days keep flying by without anything being produced. And I have a deadline every week.
I have given up on inspiration, and procrastination isn't an option. So I am trying some new tactics: listening to tango music; typing all my tango notes; drinking lots of coffee (which is rapidly turning yucky). I have my outline posted next to my desk, complete with page guidelines. But despite all these accelerants, nothing has really caught my brain on fire. It's like my brain is just a pile of wet twigs and mud. No matter what you do to it, it will not catch fire. It might smolder for a second and then re-extinguish. GRR! What I need is a nice thick log, properly dried hardwood, ideally fragrant that will burn consistently for a good while.
Smokin' Fairy has offered to watch some tango with me, to see if it would help to watch/explain tango to the uninitiated. And I have a Donkey date with the other MA who is also in the writing process. If anyone has any ideas or inspiration, I will cheerfully accept.

You need to track down the Bullshit. Who had it last? The only other option is to find the main Brain. My guess is that Jen and JJ have it since they are the strongest concentration of college friends at this point. Between the Bullshit and the Brain you should be able to get something done. At least it always seemed to work in college. ;-)
