You have to keep the room very cold, or else it escapes...
So, writers, how do you get your groove back?
Groove, not grove. Sheet.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.
Oh, I definitely agree that he's been wasted. His anger is why I find him interesting, and is part of why I would very carefully avoid him if he were real.
Right there with you on "Hell's Bells," possibly for the same reasons.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm trying the "stare at the document and wait for inspiration, and reread Speranza's stuff while you're at it which probably doesn't help the cause" technique.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at.

I actually wrote some sex. Um...on Tuesday. Considering the boys had been in the middle of things for quite some time, they were pretty grateful.

Thrive to spite them
I still can't write sex. I no longer giggle like crazy when I try and write it but I just can't seem to visualize it in my head. I lose track of what's going on. Anya's getting rather peeved because I was supposed to be working on a story about her. And then there's the rabid Firefly plot bunny that attacked me and won't let go.

Thanks for all the fish.
I let myself drift into long droughts of not writing (hmm, one lasted ten years) and then pop out the occasional bit of porn or angst. But I don't consider myself to be a writer. I'm neither prolific nor dedicated enough.

But I have a tendancy to listen to the same song over and over again and just stop what I'm writing, space down to a blank screen and start over again. Even if I'm typing out the same stuff.

Oh, are we talking specifically about sex? See, that I have no problem writing, for some reason.
