Writer's Workshop: Writer's Block

So its Writer's Workshop at Mama's Losin' It again and I must say that I was really looking forward to this. I really like this because it lets me stretch my writing talents (yeah, I guess you could call it a talent). I did not participate last week because I was still flying high from all the birthday celebrations and I just couldn't get my brain to write anything.

I was looking forward to this week. I was so impressed when the prompts came up on Tuesday, yeah extra time to think of a post, but there was a problem. The prompts gave me nothing. Usually, I read the prompt and something comes to mind right away but this week, all I heard was crickets. No funny story, no lovely memory, no witty remarks.

I thought, alright, its ok, try not panic just give it some time and the post will come. Think, ponder, meditate, become one with the prompts. I am here to say that I have been thinking about these prompts for 2 days and I got NOTHING! NOTHING!

So I have decided that I am going to tell you my first thoughts on the prompts and that will be my post. That is all I got. Here it is and I am not promising anything good.

1.) Complete the sentence "I'd walk a mile for a ________." and continue writing about it. Oh what would I walk a mile for? There are just so many things but wait, I would actually have to walk a mile? Not going to happen. I would like to just sit and watch all the other walker. I would be so willing to serve some lemonade.

2.) Describe in detail a person who leaves no stone unturned. I don't really get this one and I don't think that I know any one like this. I am having a total blond moment about this one.

3.) When out to lunch with co-workers, you bump into a close friend who refers to you by a nickname. Because of its unusualness, the nickname catches the interest of one of your co-workers who asks for the story behind it. Start your story with, "This may come as a surprise, but ... " and end it with, "And that's how I got the nickname (fill in the blank)." Oh I wish that I had a fun nickname and even better a good story to go with it but I don't. You all know my nickname, its, Jen and it is just what people have alway called me. I was Jenny for a while but I kind of grew out of that one. People at work call me Ginger but that is because one day one of my friends said that I looked like a Ginger. She started calling me that and now some other people do to. See really boring, I wish I could say I am Ginger because of my good table dancing routine but that is just silly.

4.) Write about an intense game of Scrabble that takes an ugly turn for the worse. Well, I have never in my life played Scrabble. I am actually not allowed. I am a horrible speller, as you may have noticed, even with spell check I still spell things wrong. Jeff tells me over and over again that Scrabble is not the game for me. Therefore, I have not played it and will not play it for the fact that I am a very poor loser and I would most definitely loose.

Ok so there. That is the best I got. I am going to close this most random post with a look into my shift at work last night. I had 3 patients, one coming, one going and one creating a poo river in her bed. I was so busy that I actually had to make a damn to contain things so that it would not run onto the floor. Lets just say that I spent the majority of the night floating on the poo river. And don't worry the patient didn't sit like that for long, I just had to deal with life threatening low blood pressure first, priorities people.
