If writing is my job, how do I file for workman's comp?
I love the brilliant humor of Douglas Adams. He immortalized deadlines, took us to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and showed us the importance of towels. He also nailed it when it comes to writing.
Yes, I'm staring at my screen, and have been for quite some time now. In fact, I might require transfusions shortly, since I'm not sure how much blood I have left. (Please tell the EMT's

Sucks. Completely sucks. I got a shot of juice from a really strange place. My writing group had a Prompts Night. One of the prompts was to pick a book, fiction or non-, open the book to a random page, then shuffle a deck of cards, and draw one at random. Use the number on the card to count down the sentences on the page to that number and use it to write a scene. Whether it is in your current target or not, it gets the words flowing and then maybe you can turn it toward your project once they are. Good luck!

That's a COOL idea, Angel. Thanks for sharing it! I think I'm going to try that one! I'll let you know... :)

I'm working on a horror story and used a murder mystery book. Got a GREAT scene for the horror novel out of it on my first try. =D Hope you mileage is as good!
Oh, and if you don't have cards handy, dice work.
