Something for the struggling writer to ponder

And aren't all writers struggling on some level? Anyway: if you spend five or six hours staring at the computer screen feeling frustrated, demoralized, and humiliated, you are spending a lot of time teaching yourself — mind, body, and soul — how to be very good at doing SFA* while feeling frustrated, demoralized, and humiliated.

Turn
the
computer
off
and
go
do
something
else.

Ask me how I know this.

*SFA=sweet f**k-all, in case you're not familiar with the abbreviation.

Much sympathy. I've been having a bit of a dry spell myself.

Aren't all humans?

Good for you. Doing something else is often the key.
