Mr. CantWrite

[AerostarMonk]

So, you see I sorta have a problem. I'm a writer who doesn't write. How does that make me a writer you ask? Well, it's something people usually assume when they meet me, and always assume after they hear what interests me. So it's sort of like a brand on my forehead I guess. Now, here's the rub, I haven't written anything officially for ten years. Everything after that has been bad attempts at fan-fiction and half-baked ideas scrawled on paper.

I've tried everything, workshops, books, mandatory contests. None of them seem to work. It almost seems as if this writer's block is more like an impenetrable fortress. What's worse, I want to make this thing my lot in life. I want to write for comic books and animation.

I sorta know what's wrong. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to this sort of thing and I abhor having to rewrite stuff. It's okay if I'm rewriting to make up for logical errors and other such things, but not when I feel it's just terrible, then it seems like a why bother situation.

Now, this is not a self-pity topic. I've actually started this thread to ask if you, the good people of Never Forgotten, have any good ideas for crushing this writer's block once and for all. I'm open to any suggestion. I feel it's time to finally make good on that brand on my forehead.
