Writer’s block. It is an incredible thing that is not incredible and just blatantly dumb.

I don’t like writer’s block. I don’t think anyone does, because, like I said, it’s dumb.

I think that I’m going to end every sentence in this post with the word dumb.

Either that or each paragraph, ’cause I don’t want to overuse the word dumb.

I am experiencing terrible writer’s block. It sucks. A lot. And is terribly dumb.

I know what I want to convey. I know what has to happen. I even know how it has to happen. What I don’t know is how to convey what has to happen and how it happens in a not dumb way. It’s not even just one thing. Sometimes I can’t write a word in the Brotherhood, but I can author, like, fifty scripts and then a chapter of Jamez Blak and then go back and write another couple pages of Brotherhood. But now everything I write–and I mean everything–is dumb.

I even tried writing something else. Dumb.

I even tried not writing anything and reading instead. While the book is incredibly good (no seriously, it’s called Elantris and it’s really good. You should go check it out… possibly literally) it’s not really a good strategy for getting writing done. In fact, the strategy is sorta dumb.

I even tried writing a blog post about it. I’m talking about the HAT! post right below this one. That was originally going to have a horde of things in it, one of which was the Roomba thing and one of which was my Writer’s Block issues. But, of course, writing about having writer’s block isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Anyway, the blog post turned out dumb.

Anyway, I haven’t gotten a single l****5 page done, nor anything in regard of the Brotherhood Saga, nor anything of my own from-scratch POTOR script (that thing got to a good start, though). *sigh*. It’s dumb.

I think that I write best when it’s freezing cold. No seriously, I do. I think there’s something about even the slightest warmth that sends my brain into massive unauthorability. It makes the writing part of my brain dumb.

Also, why the heck is this post titled “Heir.”

No really, interrobang.

I miss Keira.

This is dumb.

HAT!

Huh. Someone needs to give me something to write about on here. Something that’s not dumb. Something that inspires me to make a new this post, because this post was amazing. I like that post. It took me a long time to freaking write it. That’s why I like it. Because I took the time to do research based upon robotic damnation. Well, human damnation brought upon by robots. Same thing, really.

Even this post I’m sorta proud of.

About that, I want to make something rather clear right now. I am not a largely religious person. I do, however, think the bible is a rather interesting work of literature describing the damning effect one small, tiny decision can make upon the entire human race, all brought upon by one person.

Genesis also sorta interests me. Personally, I don’t believe half of what Genesis says. Well, at least, the way some people interpret it. By the way, I’m trying to put this in the least damning way possible.

Ah, screw it, I’m agnostic. God, it’s your task to prove to me that you exist. Get to miraclizing. Also, don’t let your way of proving it to me be to strike me down where I’m standing, or sitting as the case may be. No really. I totally wouldn’t put it past Old Testament God. That guy was crazy… no offense.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that, while it may offend some, and while it may turn other people off of what I write, anything I write involving god and religion (*cough* TLOTPK *cough*) is not because I am a devout believer. It is because I had some odd inspiration one day to get myself an eternity of hellfire, alright? I dunno.

You could think of it as a theory too, I guess. I mean, a what-if expansion off of a religion. Or like an approximation as to what’s to happen at the second coming… Like that movie, The Third Coming. Or… wait a second. Third? I thought it was only the second.. did I miss something here?

Aaaaaany way, speaking of the apocalypse.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That is all.

I, hereinafter referred to as Timmy, hereby vow to accomplish the following listed tasks without any backtracking and/or regrets for vowing to accomplish them. Furthermore, I vow to attempt to my fullest ability to accomplish the listed tasks sometime during the up and coming summer, while others are off enjoying their time in other ways.

  1. Make The Original Stiff a real reality. I’m serious. I’m finally in a freaking band, and I am not going to let that explode like it normally does. Honestly, and I mean no offense at all to my dear sadist, even if Moses doesn’t want to do it, I’ll get others. I swear, the Original Stiff is going to be awesome and magnificent and is, in fact, going to happen.
  2. Speaking of Moses, I vow to get him the present I need to get him for his birthday. Srsly.
  3. The prize. Starts with an ‘l’ and ends in a ’5.’ I was gonna say the entire acronym, but if you Google it, it’s actually the very first result. Heh. Anyway, Sticky and I will do this. I’m serious.
  4. Meanwhile, we’re gonna start filming on POTOR, whether you like it or not.
  5. I’m going to remain thoroughly and completely feeling bad for crushing Chris’ dreams of creating one of the greatest films ever, The Puppet Demention. Everything exploded at once. It sucked… sorry, Chris.
  6. I’m going to finish up The Legend of the Purple kNights as well as the revision of Jamez Blak and the Monks of Tunisia (*cough* on the linkage).
  7. I’m also gonna finish up the typing and completing of the first Brotherhood book and then work on getting it published. Yeah, that’s right, I said published. I’m getting tired of, when people suggest I get it published just saying, “heh, yeah,” like I’ve never considered it. Of course I’ve considered it. I’ve written almost five-hundred pages when it comes to the Brotherhood (if I’m doing my math right). It’s not just going to sit there and wait for an archaeologist. Even if I have to publish it myself through, like, LuLu or something, it’s getting published.
  8. I’m gonna get over the whole Keira thing. I’m a failure. I get it. I have to move on, self, seriously. You suck.
  9. Finish my post-apocalyptic script. That thing, while being sorta cliche in parts, would make an amazing film, I have to admit.
  10. I will have a life. No really, I will.
  11. I will, while maintaining said life, update this blog regularly and update you, fair reader(s) of my daily goings ons. Or, y’know, weekly. Or, y’know, no goings ons at all. I may just do reviews and Words & Phrases. My intention is to make this site a rather enjoyable place to be. I may add a forum. I may not, though. That might be too presumptuous (in thinking people’d join, that is).
  12. I’m gonna shoot several things on the HVX, even before we do POTOR (or l—-5).
  13. Read some good books.

Although that is all that Timmy can think of at the moment, he hereinafter vows to accomplish all further tasks he sets for himself to accomplish in the coming future.

I’m serious.
