It's not for everyone!

I am writing my first novel. But instead of writing on it, I'm blogging. What the hell is this? I want to write. I have to write. I need this as much as I need food and air, writing is like breathing to me. That in itself makes me a writer.
Writing is the only and I mean only thing that the step-father ever gave me any credit for and also the husband. I may think I have a gift, but where has it gone?
I haven't written on my novel in 2 weeks. And what do I do now?
I wish I had the prose of Tom Robbins....but I'm not that intelligent. I'm blocked and all I can think of to do is just sit down and bang out some words on the keyboard. Or put pen to paper. Help!!! I'm just screwed!

		Calm down, rather lovely looking cavewoman banging on the keys:P. My gawd. Does anyone have any Lithium?:P 'Jest' kidding. Listen, I too have been trying to write a great novel. I started my first back in '94--still haven't finished a complete draft. I have wished every day since then for someone to bounce ideas off of...but at the same time I try to write a novel--even though many say I should be a better reader first--I want to make movies and masterpieces(as an artist)as well. How can I choose?? So, I have become quite the burning bush of firestarting. I send out lil fires here and there--no offense, State of California--and struggle to finish them. So, you are no more screwed than I--and I too have parent issues(I think I would be a better person if I grew up on a farm instead of in the city). But, if you would rather dig out a big wooden club and smash the keyboard out of a temporary mental block instead of seeking a lil life experience/inspiration/fresh air, be my guest:P Good luck with the book--I smell a drama from the files of Danielle Steele with a necklace of pearls scattered in an angry fury:P Think about it.

		All writers have blocks...maybe the way to unblock is to stop trying to upblock? I mean don't try and force anything!...just let it come as it will. Stress less! Does that make any sense? Does that make any sense?
