I'm 25k words into Godeater. Another month and I think I'll have it. Then I can turn my mind to help build this tale.

Meanwhile, since we're gonna aim for a series of short stories, consider the overall theme of what you have in mind and toy around with a seemingly disconnected tale that borders that theme. That would be my recommendation. Writer's block is just a state in which the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, which does the real writing, are thinking of new ways to communicate. It's a little like making booze. Gotta let those little yeastie geniuses of the hidden mind eat the sugars of story matter, to churn out words of splendiferous glory.

And you do like booze, don't you?

If not, you should.

Me and Hemmingway do. And he's dead.

So, ha!
